HYDERABAD: The AP High Court on Thursday directed the authorities not to insist on the possession of Aadhaar card to the supply of LPG cylinder. The division bench comprising Chief Justice Kalyan Jyothi Sengupta and Justice P V Sanjay Kumar made this order while dealing with a petition filed by TSR Sarma of Saroornagar in Hyderabad who challenged the whole process of the issue of Aadhaar card with reference to collecting finger prints of individuals etc. The petitioner also questioned the action of the oil ministry officials who made it mandatory for LPG consumers to link their gas connection and Aadhaar numbers compulsorily for availing the gas subsidy.
