In the ongoing Aadhaar verdict, the initial judgment has been delivered by Justice AK Sikri for himself, CJI Misra and Justice AM Khanwilkar. However, in a separate judgment delivered by Justice DY Chandrachud, the following key observations were made:
- The passing of Aadhaar Bill as a money bill was a subterfuge. Superseding Rajya Sabha to pass the Aadhaar Bill is a fraud to the Constitution
- Certain provisions lead to invasion of biological attributes
- Constitutional guarantees cannot be left to risks posed by technological advancements
- Absence of independent regulatory framework compromises data protection therefore Aadhaar does not pass the constitutionality test under Article 14
