The Calcutta High Court Today directed the Centre to respond to a PIL alleging Aadhaar cards deactivation without notice. The petitioner, a West Bengal NGO, claims arbitrary deactivation affecting many residents. The Centre questioned the PIL’s validity, arguing that Section 28A of the Aadhaar Act applies only to foreign nationals. The case challenges the constitutionality of Regulation 28A, with widespread implications.
The petition filed Yesterday (March 7th) by an NGO, the Joint Forum Against NRC in Calcutta HC, alleged that the Aadhaar cards of several persons were suddenly deactivated without prior notice to them.
