The Supreme Court on Wednesday, 26 September, upheld the constitutional validity of the Aadhaar scheme with a 4:1 judgment. The apex court's five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra said Aadhaar is meant to help the benefits reach the marginalised sections of the society and takes into account the dignity of people not only from personal, but also from community point of view.

However, the constitutional validity of the Centre’s flagship scheme was upheld with certain conditions. The apex court said private companies cannot insist on Aadhaar. It added that the national security exception for disclosure of Aadhaar information as per Section 33(2) has also been struck down,

Justice DY Chandrachud made a dissenting judgment declaring the Aadhaar scheme unconstitutional.
