SC seeks ED response on bail plea by ex-Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren
said that it will be open to Jharkhand High Court to deliver its judgement on the former Chief Minister Sorem’s plea challenging his arrest in an alleged money laundering case.
The Supreme Court on Monday said the unique identification number – Aadhaar card – cannot be made mandatory for availing benefits under social welfare schemes.
This was stated by a bench of Chief Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar, Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul.
Senor counsel Shyam Divan had challenged a spare of orders issued by the government making Aadhaar mandatory to access benefits under various schemes.
