Resisting linking your mobile or your bank account to Aadhaar is not just about rejecting Aadhaar, it is about your safety and protecting national interest
The orders of the Supreme Court of India
On 23 September 2013 the Supreme Court ordered that “no person should suffer for not getting the Aadhaar card inspite of the fact that some authority had issued a circular making it mandatory and when any person applies to get the Aadhaar Card voluntarily”. On 24 March 2014, the apex court had reiterated that “no person shall be deprived of any service for want of Aadhaar number in case he/she is otherwise eligible/entitled. All the authorities are directed to modify their forms/circulars/likes so as to not compulsorily require the Aadhaar number in order to meet the requirement of the interim order passed by this Court forthwith”.
