Illustration: The Wire Law20/Jan/2021 New Delhi: The Supreme Court has dismissed a batch of pleas seeking review of its 2018 verdict upholding the Centre’s flagship Aadhaar scheme as constitutionally valid but striking down some of its provisions, including its linking with bank accounts, mobile phones and school admissions. A five-judge constitution bench headed by Justice A.M. Khanwilkar, by a majority of 4:1, rejected the review pleas against the apex courtâs September 26, 2018 verdict. Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, one of the five judges of the bench, dissented with the majority verdict and said that the review petitions be kept pending until a larger bench decides the question related to certification of a Bill as a money Bill. Justice Chandrachud was also part of the bench that delivered the 2018 verdict and had dissented then too, calling Aadhaar a “fraud on the constitution”.
