Recently, the Supreme Court of India has given an important and historic verdict regarding the use of Aadhaar card. According to this decision, now the use of Aadhaar card has been banned in many areas. This decision not only affects the rights related to the identity of citizens, but it also presents new challenges for various government and private entities.
In this article, we will discuss the key points of this decision of the Supreme Court, its impact and wider consequences.
Supreme Court’s decision: Aadhaar use limited
The Supreme Court has issued important instructions regarding the mandatory use of Aadhaar card. According to this decision, now many institutions such as University Grants Commission (UGC), Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), and private companies cannot demand Aadhaar card. Apart from this, schools are also not allowed to demand Aadhaar card from students. This decision is being considered an important step to protect the privacy rights of citizens.
Key points of the decision
Aadhaar use restricted: The Supreme Court said that Aadhaar card is no longer a sufficient document to determine age or establish identity.
Ban on private companies: Private companies have been barred from demanding Aadhaar card, which will increase the security of consumers’ personal information.
Biometric data: Aadhaar’s biometric data can be sought by agencies only in security matters.
Constitutional validity: Section 57 of the Aadhaar Act has been abolished, which prevents it from being compulsorily sought by private companies.
Education and health services: Now Aadhaar card will not be mandatory in education and health services, which will make it easier for people to get the facilities.
