Bihar roll revision: SC says Aadhaar cannot be standalone proof of citizenship

RJD counsel Prashant Bhushan had argued that the EC was not accepting Aadhaar as standalone proof of identity for the 65 lakh names removed from the draft voter list despite court orders. The bench responded, “We cannot enhance the status of Aadhaar beyond what is ascribed to it by the Aadhaar Act. We can also not go beyond what was said by a five-judge bench in Puttaswamy judgment while upholding Aadhaar.”
