&lt;em&gt;The benefits being projected in Aadhaar&amp;rsquo;s name are not backed by the data&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The first death anniversary of Santoshi Kumar, a Dalit girl from Simdega, Jharkhand, was this week. She died of hunger, at the age of 11, a few weeks after her family&amp;rsquo;s ration card was cancelled by the State government because they failed to link it to Aadhaar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Aadhaar judgment of September 26 provided an opportunity for the Supreme Court to make amends for her tragic death. The upholding (by and large) of Section 7 by the majority judges is, therefore, the biggest let-down in the Aadhaar judgment. This is because the judges decided to accept the government&amp;rsquo;s &amp;lsquo;assertions&amp;rsquo; &amp;mdash; wrongly &amp;mdash; as &amp;lsquo;facts&amp;rsquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Assertions versus facts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the majority opinion, they state: &amp;ldquo;The entire aim behind launching this programme is the &amp;lsquo;inclusion&amp;rsquo; of the deserving persons who need to get such benefits. When it is serving much larger purpose by reaching hundreds of millions of deserving persons, it cannot be crucified on the unproven plea of exclusion of some. We again repeat that the Court is not trivialising the problem of exclusion if it is there.&amp;rdquo; (p. 389.) There are many instances of assertions being accepted as facts. This piece seeks to show why they were wrong in believing the assertion about inclusion, identification and exclusion, to illustrate the bigger problem with the majority view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For instance, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) submitted to the court that the &amp;lsquo;failed percentage&amp;rsquo; of iris and finger authentication are 8.54% and 6%, respectively. Later, on Page 384, discussing the issue of exclusion, the judgment notes that the UIDAI is said to have claimed 99.76% &amp;ldquo;biometric accuracy&amp;rdquo;, suggesting that two different failure rates have been submitted to the court.&lt;br /&gt;

This piece seeks to show why they were wrong in believing the assertion about inclusion, identification and exclusion, to illustrate the bigger problem with the majority view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) submitted to the court that the &amp;lsquo;failed percentage&amp;rsquo; of iris and finger authentication are 8.54% and 6%, respectively. Later, on Page 384, discussing the issue of exclusion, the judgment notes that the UIDAI is said to have claimed 99.76% &amp;ldquo;biometric accuracy&amp;rdquo;, suggesting that two different failure rates have been submitted to the court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/the-poor-are-left-to-themselves/article25074493.ece?homepage=true&quot; title=&quot;https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/the-poor-are-left-to-themselves/article25074493.ece?homepage=true&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;em&gt;The benefits being projected in Aadhaar&amp;rsquo;s name are not backed by the data&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The first death anniversary of Santoshi Kumar, a Dalit girl from Simdega, Jharkhand, was this week. She died of hunger, at the age of 11, a few weeks after her family&amp;rsquo;s ration card was cancelled by the State government because they failed to link it to Aadhaar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Aadhaar judgment of September 26 provided an opportunity for the Supreme Court to make amends for her tragic death. The upholding (by and large) of Section 7 by the majority judges is, therefore, the biggest let-down in the Aadhaar judgment. This is because the judges decided to accept the government&amp;rsquo;s &amp;lsquo;assertions&amp;rsquo; &amp;mdash; wrongly &amp;mdash; as &amp;lsquo;facts&amp;rsquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Assertions versus facts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the majority opinion, they state: &amp;ldquo;The entire aim behind launching this programme is the &amp;lsquo;inclusion&amp;rsquo; of the deserving persons who need to get such benefits. When it is serving much larger purpose by reaching hundreds of millions of deserving persons, it cannot be crucified on the unproven plea of exclusion of some. We again repeat that the Court is not trivialising the problem of exclusion if it is there.&amp;rdquo; (p. 389.) There are many instances of assertions being accepted as facts. This piece seeks to show why they were wrong in believing the assertion about inclusion, identification and exclusion, to illustrate the bigger problem with the majority view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For instance, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) submitted to the court that the &amp;lsquo;failed percentage&amp;rsquo; of iris and finger authentication are 8.54% and 6%, respectively. Later, on Page 384, discussing the issue of exclusion, the judgment notes that the UIDAI is said to have claimed 99.76% &amp;ldquo;biometric accuracy&amp;rdquo;, suggesting that two different failure rates have been submitted to the court.&lt;br /&gt;

The Aadhaar judgment of September 26 provided an opportunity for the Supreme Court to make amends for her tragic death.

In the majority opinion, they state: &ldquo;The entire aim behind launching this programme is the &lsquo;inclusion&rsquo; of the deserving persons who need to get such benefits.

We again repeat that the Court is not trivialising the problem of exclusion if it is there.&rdquo; (p. 389.) There are many instances of assertions being accepted as facts.

The poor are left to themselves -Reetika Khera

-The Hindu The benefits being projected in Aadhaar’s name are not backed by the data The first death anniversary of Santoshi Kumar, a Dalit girl from Simdega, Jharkhand, was this week. She died of hunger, at the age of 11, a few weeks after her family’s ration card was cancelled by the State government because they failed to link it to Aadhaar. The Aadhaar judgment of September 26 provided an opportunity for the Supreme Court to make amends for her tragic death. The upholding (by and large) of Section 7 by the majority judges is, therefore, the biggest let-down in the Aadhaar judgment. This is because the judges decided to accept the government’s ‘assertions’ — wrongly — as ‘facts’. Assertions versus facts In the majority opinion, they state: “The entire aim behind launching this programme is the ‘inclusion’ of the deserving persons who need to get such benefits. When it is serving much larger purpose by reaching hundreds of millions of deserving persons, it cannot be crucified on the unproven plea of exclusion of some. We again repeat that the Court is not trivialising the problem of exclusion if it is there.” (p. 389.) There are many instances of assertions being accepted as facts. This piece seeks to show why they were wrong in believing the assertion about inclusion, identification and exclusion, to illustrate the bigger problem with the majority view. For instance, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) submitted to the court that the ‘failed percentage’ of iris and finger authentication are 8.54% and 6%, respectively. Later, on Page 384, discussing the issue of exclusion, the judgment notes that the UIDAI is said to have claimed 99.76% “biometric accuracy”, suggesting that two different failure rates have been submitted to the court.
