NEW DELHI: : The Supreme Court will today hear revision petition challenging its 2018 ruling by the Constitution Bench that upheld constitutional validity of Aadhaar Act.
Justices AM Khanvilkar, DY Chandrachud, Ashokbhushan, S Aabdulsameer and Bhushan Gavai will examine the review petition at 1.30 this noon in the chamber.
In September of 2018, the 5-member Constitution Bench headed by former Chief Justice of India Deepak Mishra had endorsed the lawfulness of Aadhaar act in a 4:1 majority. On Bench, Justice DY Chandrachud had differed in his opinion and held Aadhaar Act as contradictory to the constitutional provisions.
The current petition challenging that verdict comes from multiple individuals including Congress leader Jayaram Ramesh.
