Contrary
to media reports that the Supreme Court allowed usage of Aadhaar number for
non-benefit schemes, nothing really happened. In fact, all previous orders
passed by the apex court on Aadhaar remain unchanged. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
According
to one of the lawyers present in the Court, on Monday, the Aadhaar matters and
the intervention application for stay on the Act were mentioned before the
Bench of Chief Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar, Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice
Sanjay Kishan Kaul. Senior Counsel Shyam Divan informed the Bench about earlier
orders passed in this matter. The Total

"Given
the Chief Justice Khehar or any of the judges in the Bench had never heard the
case before, they had some questions on whether Para 5 of the 15 October 2015
order making it purely voluntary was for benefit schemes as well as non-benefit
schemes. Therefore Chief Justice Khehar suggested that it could be used for
other non-benefit schemes such as Income Tax filings. Sr Counsel Divan
clarified on that point," the lawyer says. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
Chief
Justice Khehar expressed his opinion about perhaps setting up a Seven Judge
Bench for hearing the main petition on Aadhaar. However, Sr Counsel Divan
informed the Bench that the matter is before Justice Jasti Chelameswar, who had
already indicated the order in which the Constitution Bench matters would be
taken up for hearing. Aadhaar is one of the three such matters. Upon hearing
this, the Chief Justice declined to intervene.
"In
short, nothing changed today and there was no order passed by the Court,"
the lawyer concluded.The Total Investment
