The Supreme Court Wednesday ruled in favour of Aadhaar, saying it didn’t violate the Indian Constitution. The verdict put to rest a raging controversy over claims that compulsory enrolment for the unique national ID infringed on privacy. But the bench struck down Section 57 of the Aadhaar Act, which allows not only the state but also any corporate or person or private entity to demand Aadhaar. Section 57 allowed mobile companies, banks, schools and private service providers to seek an individual’s Aadhaar card for identification. The bench also ruled that bank accounts need not be linked to the Aadhaar number. ---- SUBSCRIBE to ThePrint : http://bit.ly/SubscribeToThePrint LIKE ThePrint on Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/theprintindia/ Follow ThePrint on Twitter : https://twitter.com/theprintindia Follow ThePrint on Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/theprintindia/
