India’s top court upholds world’s largest iometric Id system
September 27, 2018 14:00 pm
NEW DELHI, Sept 27: Indian Supreme Court Wednesday has ruled in favor of the country’s controversial biometric identity scheme known as Aadhaar. In its verdict, the apex court mentioned that the scheme is not unconstitutional and does not violate the right to privacy. But the five-judge constitution bench, headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra said that linking the identification number with bank accounts and mobile connections or school admissions cannot be compulsory. Nor should its absence mean an exclusion from applying for social welfare.
