A bench of Chief Justice SA Bobde and justices AS Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian said this matter should not be treated as adversarial as it is "too serious a matter". The Supreme Court bench said the matter will be put up for final hearing.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today termed the cancellation of around three crore ration cards by the Centre due to non-linking with Aadhaar card as too serious, and sought response from the Central government and all states on the issue.

A bench of Chief Justice SA Bobde and justices AS Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian said this matter should not be treated as adversarial as it is "too serious a matter".

The bench said the matter will be put up for final hearing.

At the outset, senior advocate Colin Gonsalves, appearing for petitioner Koili Devi, said the petition deals with the larger issue.

"We see the problem at hand and I have dealt with this kind of matter in Bombay High Court and I think this matter should be filed before the high court concerned," the CJI said.

The bench told Mr Gonsalves that he has sought a very omnibus kind of relief and widened the scope of the matter.

Mr Gonsalves persisted with his arguments that it is an important issue as the Centre has cancelled around three crore ration cards.

The bench said it will hear the matter on some other day as it is persuaded by Gonsalves that the Central government has cancelled the ration cards.

Additional Solicitor General Aman Lekhi said it is a wrong statement made by Mr Gonsalves that the Centre has cancelled the ration cards.

"We are asking you (Centre) to respond because of Aadhaar issue. This is not an adversarial litigation. We will hear it finally. Issue notice returnable in four weeks," the bench said.

Mr Lekhi said that notice has already been issued in the matter and Centre's response is there on record.

Mr Gonsalves said notice has not been issued on main plea but on alternative grievance redressal.
