The only caveat to that is that there should be no exclusion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dwivedi<\/strong>:\u00a0The point of Aadhaar is to bring the provider of benefit face to face with the beneficiary.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chandrachud, J<\/strong>: I&#8217;m not sure if that&#8217;s the best model. The individual should not be a supplicant. The State should go to him and give him benefits.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dwivedi<\/strong>:\n<ul>\n<li>Various judgments of the Supreme Court on economic and social welfare culminated into the Parliament framing the Aadhaar Act.<\/li>\n<li>What is being done under section 7 of the Aadhaar Act covers human rights of a lot of people of our country. This court should act as a sentinel to ensure that right to privacy is balanced with all the other rights under Article 21 that Aadhaar covers.<\/li>\n<li><em>Privacy is a small price to pay for ensuring life itself and also the rights under Article 21 of the Constitution.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Aadhaar Act draws distinction between demographic info, optional demographic info (mobile no.), core biometric information, and biometric information like photograph. Idea of reasonable expectation of privacy varies from one set of data to another.<\/li>\n<li>Reasonable expectation of privacy in case of demographic info and photo will be very low as such information is publicly available.\u00a0We are concerned only about real and general apprehension or fear of the public with respect to Aadhaar. Fear is subjective.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>CJI:<\/strong> Some fears are misconceived.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><em>To read the highlights from the submissions of Senior Advocate Rakesh Dwivedi, click\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/04\/13\/aadhaar-hearing-day-28-millions-like-me-do-not-care-about-privacy-rakesh-dwivedi\/\">here ,\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/04\/18\/aadhaar-hearing-day-29-elections-are-being-swayed-using-data-analytics-aadhaar-may-be-used-for-the-same-justice-chandrachud\/\">here <\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/04\/19\/aadhaar-hearing-day-30-we-all-strive-to-get-recognised-identification-is-a-matter-of-dignity-and-pride-rakesh-dwivedi\/\">here.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><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\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0<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><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><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><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><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><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><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><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><em>Looking for the detailed submissions of Senior Advocate Shyam Divan?
