In today’s hearing on Aadhaar senior advocate Meenakshi Arora continued her submissions, appearing for Vickram Crishna and others. Her main contention was that one, collection, aggregation and retention of personal data on a mass scale under the Aadhaar Project is grossly disproportionate qua any purported object and therefore, is violative of the Right to Privacy. Two, Aadhaar impinges upon the Right to Dignity of the population, since it amounts to requiring a license for exercise of fundamental rights. Three, Aadhaar is violative of the Rights of Children.
