Verdict day in Aadhaar battle -Krishn Kaushik

-The Indian Express

Aadhaar verdict: Supreme Court rules today on a bunch of petitions against Aadhaar. From validity to fears of misuse for surveillance and privacy, a look at the issues that have come up before the five-judge Constitution Bench.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will deliver its verdict on a clutch of petitions challenging Aadhaar on various grounds. A five-judge Constitution Bench will rule on questions such as:

* Does the government have the right to demand that every person authenticate his or her identity through biometric or demographic information with just one proof — a unique identification number — to make sure that government benefits reach their intended targets? Or do Indian citizens have the right to identify themselves using, instead, any of several other documents issued to them by the government?

* Is the Aadhaar project an attack on a person’s privacy, now a fundamental right after a Supreme Court ruling that arose out of the Aadhaar case itself?

* Is the Aadhaar Act valid, given that the way it was passed has been challenged?
