He was then followed by Senior Advocate Rakesh Dwivedi.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Below are the highlights from Day 28 of the Aadhaar Hearing:<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>ASG<\/strong>:\u00a0Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) amendment was made considering the larger public interest. The PMLA Rules\u00a0are not ultra vires the Aadhaar act or RBI circular.\u00a0There&#8217;s no challenge with respect to the PMLA rules being ultra vires the PMLA.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sikri, J:<\/strong>\u00a0Rule 9(4) is challenged on the ground of proportionality. What is the need to make Aadhaar compulsory when there are other officially valid docs available?<\/li>\n<li><strong>ASG<\/strong>:\u00a0It is to prevent impersonation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chandrachud, J<\/strong>: What about Arvind Datar&#8217;s submission that PMLA Rules are ultra vires Act; there is no provision under PMLA to render a validly opened account non operational; why is Aadhaar linking extended mutual funds and insurance policies as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sikri, J:<\/strong>\u00a0Anyone can become a reporting entity under the PMLA, not just banks. How is this proportional?<\/li>\n<li><strong>ASG:<\/strong>\u00a0We follow zero tolerance policy when it comes to money laundering. Public interest is interest of the nation here.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CJI &amp; Bhushan, J<\/strong>:\u00a0How is blocking accounts if Aadhaar is not provided not in violation of Article 300A of the Constitution?<\/li>\n<li><strong>ASG<\/strong>:\u00a0It&#8217;s a reasonable restriction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chandrachud, J<\/strong>:\u00a0Is the penal consequence authorized by the Act or rules itself?The Act only talks about verification of bank accounts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ASG<\/strong>:\u00a0The rules are part of the Act. Penal consequence is just an ancillary provision and can be provided by the rules. <em>(Chandrachud, J doesn&#8217;t agree)\u00a0<\/em>Only plenary law is considered with respect to &#8220;procedure established by law&#8221; is wrong. The rules can also be considered. Freezing of bank account is not a penalty but just a consequence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sikri, J<\/strong>:\u00a0It is a penalty. You&#8217;re depriving someone of their property.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ASG<\/strong>:\u00a0The point of such a consequence ( freezing of bank accounts) is so that money launderers render their account non operational.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CJI<\/strong>:\u00a0Our only question is whether the consequence is mandated under law or is it an overreach.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ASG:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Terror financing destroys the root of our democracy and threatens our national security. There are huge cross border implications. Both in and outside India this kind of menace happens. Therefore it&#8217;s important to link bank account with Aadhaar.<\/li>\n<li>Scheme of PMLA is three fold:\n<ul>\n<li>Zero tolerance to money laundering<\/li>\n<li>Curbing black money<\/li>\n<li>Reaching beneficiaries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>There will be minor inconvenience to some citizens but it is in the interest of the nation.\u00a0 Public interest and &#8220;perceived Privacy&#8221; should be weighed before taking a decision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rakesh Dwivedi<\/strong>: People have voluntarily signed up for Aadhaar.\u00a0GOI has ample means to surveil. No need of Aadhaar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chandrachud, J<\/strong>:\u00a0Technology is a very powerful enabler of mass surveillance. Elections of countries are being swayed with the use of data and technology.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dwivedi:\u00a0<\/strong>We can&#8217;t compare Google and Facebook&#8217;s algorithms with UIDAI&#8217;s technology.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chandrachud, J<\/strong>: The Act does not preclude UIDAI to acquire that kind of tech.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dwivedi<\/strong>:\u00a0It&#8217;s an offence under section 33.\u00a0The only purpose of Aadhaar is authentication and nothing else. There is no power provided under the Act to analyze data.\u00a0 Meta data is also limited. The meta data is of authentication records and it does not reveal anything about an individual.\u00a0 Meta data consists of authentication request, result of authentication and the time of authentication only.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sikri, J<\/strong>:\u00a0That is enough to reveal a lot about an individual.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dwivedi:<\/strong>\u00a0The authentication request will show from where the authentication request came (for example from Apollo hospital) but there&#8217;s no way to know the location from where it came. Also the identity of the person who requested authentication is not revealed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chandrachud, J<\/strong>:\u00a0The requesting entity can store the data, considering there is not even a robust data protection law. Commercial information about an individual is also a gold mine. Surveillance doesn&#8217;t have to be interpreted in the traditional sense.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dwivedi:<\/strong>\u00a0Millions like me do not care about privacy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chandrachud, J<\/strong>:\u00a0Giving fingerprints for a limited particular purpose is okay. Under Aadhaar, fingerprints are means for storing data in a central database for the purpose of authentication. Thats a problem.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dwivedi:<\/strong>\u00a0The biometrics are encrypted. Also the data is not shared with anyone. Even EU data protection law does not have the kind of protection that Aadhaar act has. There is no reasonable expectation of privacy wrt demographic information. I understand\u00a0 if people have a problem with the implementation and enforcement of the Aadhaar act. But there&#8217;s no problem with the law and the technology.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chandrachud, J:<\/strong>\u00a0Section 29(b) allows sharing of data with third parties by requesting entities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dwivedi:<\/strong> Section 29(1) bars sharing of core biometrics completely. Section 29(b) has to be read in the context of section 29(1).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chandrachud, J:<\/strong>\u00a0 This Act has gone beyond section 7 benefits and that is our major concern.\u00a0Section 29(3) uses the word &#8220;identity information&#8221; which seems to suggest biometrics can also be transferred.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>To read the highlights from the submissions by ASG Tushar Mehta, click<a href=\"http:\/\/to%20read%20the%20highlights%20from%20the%20submissions%20by%20the%20attorney%20general\/\">\u00a0here <\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/04\/12\/aadhaar-hearing-day-27-aadhaar-will-prevent-money-laundering-tax-evasion-bank-frauds-etc-asg\/\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>To read the highlights from the submissions by the Attorney General, click\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/03\/22\/aadhaar-hearing-day-20\/\">here,\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/04\/04\/aadhaar-hearing-day-23-aadhaar-satisfies-the-conditions-laid-down-by-the-9-judge-bench-in-privacy-judgment-ag\/\">here ,<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/04\/05\/aadhaar-hearing-day-24-court-should-not-interfere-in-matters-of-technical-expertise-ag\/\">here\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/04\/10\/aadhaar-hearing-day-25-linking-sim-cards-to-aadhaar-will-curb-terrorism-ag-do-terrorists-apply-for-sim-cards-asks-sc\/\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>To read the highlights from the PowerPoint Presentation made by the CEO of UIDAI, click<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/03\/22\/aadhaar-hearing-day-21-itll-require-the-strength-of-the-entire-universe-to-break-the-encryption-of-the-aadhaar-data-uidai-ceo\/\">\u00a0here<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>To read the highlights from submissions of Senior Advocates Meenakshi Arora, Sajan\u00a0Poovayya, CU Singh, Sanjay Hegde and Counsel Jayna Kothari, click\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/03\/21\/aadhaar-hearing-day-19-counsels-appearing-for-petitioners-conclude-their-submissions\/\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>To read the highlights from submissions of Senior Advocates\u00a0KV Viswanathan and Anand Grover, click\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/03\/17\/aadhaar-hearing-day-17-and-18-one-cannot-necessarily-have-a-unique-identity-fingerprints-can-be-duplicated-arvind-grover\/\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>To read the highlights from Senior Advocate Arvind Datar\u2019s submissions, click\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/03\/07\/aadhaar-hearing-day-15-aadhaar-not-mandatory-neet-india-entrance-exams-sc-passes-interim-order\/\">here,<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/03\/06\/aadhaar-hearing-day-14-aadhaar-entitlement-like-passport-may-may-not-obtain-arvind-datar\/\">here\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/03\/13\/aadhaar-hearing-day-16-deadline-linking-aadhaar-extended-till-final-disposal-matter-sc\/\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>To read the highlights from Senior Advocate Gopal Subramanium\u2019s submissions, click\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/02\/23\/aadhaar-hearing-day-13-case-authentication-fails-entitlements-may-annulled-resulting-permanent-disablement-gopal-subramanium\/\">here<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/02\/20\/aadhaar-hearing-day-11-state-treating-people-like-flock-sheep-gopal-subramanium\/\">here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/02\/22\/aadhaar-hearing-day-12-minimal-regulatory-identification-fine-identification-availing-rights-not-gopal-subramanium\/\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>To read the highlights from Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal\u2019s arguments, click\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/02\/08\/aadhaar-hearing-day-8\/\">here,<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/02\/08\/aadhaar-hearing-day-9\/\">here\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/02\/14\/aadhaar-hearing-day-10-primary-status-citizen-not-aadhaar-card-holder-kapil-sibal\/\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Looking for the detailed submissions of Senior Advocate Shyam Divan?
