Supreme Court judgement on Aadhaar card:
The Supreme Court today extended the March 31 deadline for mandatory linking
of Aadhaar to avail various services and welfare schemes run by the
government till its constitution bench delivered its verdict on the validity of
the 12-digit biometric number and its enabling law.
A five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief
Justice Dipak Misra extended the deadline after the Centre said it had already
submitted that they were ready to extend the March 31 deadline for linking of
the national biometric identifier with all services and welfare schemes.
"We direct that the March 31, 2018, deadline
for linking of Aadhaar with various services and welfare schemes stand extended
till the matter is heard and judgement is pronounced by the constitution
bench," the bench also comprising Justices A K Sikri, A M Khanwilkar, D Y
Chandrachud and Ashok Bhushan said.
