The Supreme Court on Wednesday sought reply from Centre and states, on a plea alleging cancellation of nearly four crore ration cards, in the absence of linkages with the Aadhaar card.
A bench headed by Chief Justice S.A. Bobde and comprising justices A.S. Bopanna and V. Ramasubramanian said: The matter is too serious. We have to hear it.
The observation came on a plea filed by Koili Devi, mother of an 11-year-old girl, who allegedly died of starvation on September 28, 2017. The top court noted that this matter should not be treated as adversarial.
Insistence on Aadhar and biometric authentication had led to the cancellation of nearly 4 crore ration cards in the country according to the Union of India. The Union of India casually gives an explanation that these cancelled cards were bogus, said the plea.

In April 2017, the regulator mooted the Insurance Self Networking Platform (ISNP) to facilitate e-commerce in the insurance business. However, four years down the line, there is not much information available about the ISNP itself, or insurance companies, brokers, and corporate agents, who are participants of ISNP, how they are regulated, if at all, and what business they are doing. There is no official information about the way they are being authorised to sell or service insurance policies through the platform. Further, nobody knows, how many insurance companies, brokers and corporate agents have applied, how many applications have been rejected and on what basis and what are duties and responsibility of those on-boarded on ISNP towards insurance consumers. Except for developing a portal, https://isnp.irda.gov.in/, the IRDAI has kept mum on everything ISNP. In fact, as per our sources, except a few in IRDAI, nobody knows anything about ISNP and what exactly is taking place und
