New Delhi, The Supreme Court on Monday said the issuance of new Aadhaar cards only to citizens up to the age of six years require legislative intervention and appropriate amendments in the existing legal framework.
A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi was hearing a public interest litigation seeking direction to the Unique Identification Authority of India to issue new Aadhaar cards only to citizens up to the age of six years.
The bench said the appropriate recourse for the petitioner would be to bring all these issues to the notice of the State and other stakeholders to enable them to take cognisance of them.
It disposed of the petition with a direction that it be treated as a representation on behalf of the petitioner.
