Acting on this information, law enforcement officials apprehended the accused with a significant quantity of fake currency notes in his possession. Subsequently, a First Information Report (&#8216;FIR&#8217;) was registered under relevant sections of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Penal Code, 1860<\/a> (&#8216;IPC&#8217;), initiating legal proceedings against the accused.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">During the search and subsequent investigation, law enforcement recovered an Aadhaar Card bearing the name of the accused. Additionally, another Aadhaar Card, this time under a different name i.e., &#8216;Rohit,&#8217; was found in the possession of the accused. It was later determined that the Aadhaar Card under the name &#8216;Rohit&#8217; was forged and had been utilized for illicit activities, including obtaining a mobile number and making hotel reservations. The legal proceedings progressed with the filing of a chargesheet, while the investigation continued under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001519414\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">173(8)<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726935\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CrPC<\/a>, concerning the forged Aadhaar Card. Subsequently, a supplementary chargesheet was filed, incorporating additional charges under Sections <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561836\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">489-B<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561837\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">489-C<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561756\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">419<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561758\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">420<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561810\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">468<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561814\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">471<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561375\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">120-B<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IPC<\/a>. In an attempt to verify the details of the forged Aadhaar Card, a letter was dispatched to the Director of the UIDAI. However, the request was declined by UIDAI, necessitating the filing of the present petition before the Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Contention of the State<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The State relied on Section 33(1) of the Aadhaar Act, which confers upon the Court the authority to order disclosure of information, including identity information or authentication records of Aadhaar cardholders. The State further argued that the information sought was crucial for the investigation and adjudication of the case and asserted that such disclosure did not infringe upon the cardholder&#8217;s right to privacy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Decision and Analysis<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"> After consideration of the submissions as well as facts of the case, the Court opined that justice would be served by providing the information as sought by the State.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"> Consequently, the Court allowed the petition and directed respondent UIDAI to furnish all relevant information regarding the Aadhaar Number of the accused as sought by the State.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court, therefore, allowed the State&#8217;s plea, and disposed of the petition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">State (NCT)of Delhi v.
