The Supreme Court will on Friday pronounce its order on the plea for
interim relief on a batch of petitions seeking stay of various Central
and state government notifications mandating the linking of Aadhaar with
various schemes including taking exam by the students, availing
scholarship, cremation and treatment of HIV positive patients.
The
government has already issued 139 notifications mandating the linking
of Unique identification Number with various schemes including MNREGA,
old age pension scheme, provident fund and Prime Minister's Jan Dhan
Yojana.
Reserving the order after the hearing spread over three
and half hours on Thursday, the five judge constitution bench headed by
Chief Justice Dipak Misra said that the regular hearing on the batch of
petitions challenging the constitutional validity of Aadhaar being
violative of right to privacy would commence on January 10, 2018.
The
court indicated that it will address the government plea for mandatory
linking of Aadhaar with the opening of new bank accounts in its order to
be pronounced on Friday.
As Attorney General K.K.Venugopal
insisted that linking of Aadhaar with the opening of new banks accounts
should be allowed, the counsel for petitioners said that if in the last
seven decades, the system of introduction by an existing account holder
has worked, heavens would not fall if it continues for another three
months.
The court is also likely to pass order extending February 6 deadline for the linking of mobile numbers with Aadhaar to March 31.
The government has already extended December 31 deadline on the linking Aadhaar with the existing bank accounts till March 31.
