The Supreme Court on Tuesday extended the deadline for linking of
various services with Aadhaar till it delivers its judgment on a batch
of petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the biometrical
identification scheme.
Announcing the order, a five-judge
constitution bench, headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra, however said
that this extension will not affect the linking of Aadhaar with the
disbursal of benefits under social welfare schemes.
The order
came as senior counsel Arvind Datar, appearing for one of the
petitioners, told the court that passport issuing authorities have made
submission of Aadhaar mandatory for issuance of passports.
At
this point, Attorney General K.K. Venugopal sought to clarify that this
requirement of Aadhaar was only for issuance of 'tatkal' passports.
The court order also extended this extension to the issuance of passports.
The
current deadline for linking of bank accounts, mobile phone
connections, and other services with Aadhaar was March 31 and this had
been extended by the apex court on December 15 last year.
