Abstract

The Supreme Court’s interim order of March 13 appears incongruous to the earlier unanimous verdict on the right to privacy and is at odds with the constitutional right to equality. The deadline to link Aadhaar with bank accounts and phones have been indefinitely extended while they aren’t extended for any welfare schemes for the poor such as old age pensions and the rural job guarantee scheme, MGNREGA.
