Supreme Court Verdict In Aadhaar Case

The Supreme Court verdict in the Aadhaar case is balanced as it has upheld the constitutional validity of the scheme while also addressing data privacy issues, leading figures in the information technology (IT) industry said.

Justice Ashok Bhushan, in his separate verdict in the Aadhaar case, concurred with the majority three-judge judgement and said that the government and the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) were empowered to cure defects in the Aadhaar scheme.

A decision on whether Aadhaar, or the national identity card, violates the Constitution, will be declared by five senior most judges of the Supreme Court today. For a record 38 days, the Supreme Court heard some 27 petitions that had challenged the constitutional validity of Aadhaar and called it a violation of the right to privacy of citizens.

The verdict on a clutch of 27 petitions that challenged the constitutional validity of Aadhaar was reserved by the Supreme Court today, after a marathon hearing that stretched over nearly 4 months. Petitioners' advocate Udayaditya Banerjee told NDTV that they were expected a "good judgment, maybe in July or August".

The legal challenge to the Aadhaar identification programme is the most important case ever heard by the Supreme Court, more important than the 1976 verdict in which the top court upheld suspension of fundamental rights during Emergency, senior lawyer Kapil Sibal told five judges of the Supreme Court today.

Citizens have a constitutional right to privacy, nine top judges of the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in a landmark verdict today, also making some scathing observations on the government's arguments in the case. The nine judges were unanimous in their verdict, but have given different reasons for arriving at it.
