The Supreme Court has issued notice on a PIL seeking directions that Aadhaar be used only as proof of identity and not for establishing citizenship, residence, or age. The Court observed that the issue overlaps with a similar matter already pending before it.
A Supreme Court of India PIL filed under Article 32 seeks directions restricting Aadhaar use strictly to identity verification, alleging its expanding application in administrative and electoral processes exceeds legally permitted limits and raises concerns regarding misuse, governance practices, and constitutional safeguards for citizens’ data.
