Pregnant Woman’s Deportation Case reaches the Supreme Court as the Bench stresses a humanitarian approach. The Court says if she proves her biological link, she may get Indian citizenship and her son too, prompting the Centre to act swiftly.
The Election Commission told the Supreme Court that Aadhaar cannot be used as proof of citizenship and can only serve as proof of identity. The ECI clarified this position during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision process Phase 2.
The Election Commission of India (EC) has announced that linking Aadhaar with Voter ID will be done according to the law and the Supreme Court’s directions. It also mentioned that technical discussions between the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and EC’s experts will “begin soon”.
