Impossible to use Aadhaar to track citizens: UIDAI tells SC

| | Aug 02, 2017, at 04:18 am
New Delhi, Aug 1 (IBNS): The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) on Tuesday informed the Supreme Court that it is virtually impossible to use Aadhaar to track citizens.

The UIDAI said there were provisions in the law and its systems to ensure that the government could not use Aadhaar for surveillance even after receiving permission from any court.

If the court holds privacy as a fundamental right, it could have implications for Aadhaar, and the agency that issues the numbers, UIDAI.

This comes when the Supreme Court is hearing a case to take a fresh consideration on the right to privacy and its implications in the modern day.
