Constitution bench set up to hear Aadhaar privacy issues
A Constitutional Bench has been set up by the Supreme Court to hear the Aadhaar case relating to the right to privacy (parent case). The bench would constitute CJI JS Khehar, Justice Chelameswar, Justice Bobde, Justice Chandrachud and Justice Abdul Nazeer. The hearing would commence from July 18.
In 2015, Justice Chelameswar, Justice Bobde and Justice Nagappan were of the opinion that precedents laid down in previous judgments like Kharak Singh and M.P. Sharma would be scrutinized and “jurisprudential correctness” would be examined in the matters relating to right to privacy. The court further observed that a fundamental right is under the microscope veiled under Article 21.
