SC Issues Notice to Center and UIDAI Over Aadhaar Law

  • On Friday, the SC asked the central govt to respond to the petition that challenges amendments to the Aadhaar law cleared by parliament in July this year.
     
  • The petition was filed by a retired army officer and a rights activist and it argued that the amendments in the law create a backdoor to permit private parties to access the Aadhaar ecosystem. 
     
  • They said that this amendment allowed the state and the private parties to monitor the citizens.

  • The petition states that the amendments to the Aadhaar law create a new system of “offline verification” that bypasses the UIDAI.
     
  • The bench headed by  CJI SA Bobde heard senior lawyer Shyam Divan before issuing a notice to UIDAI and the center.
