NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court has refused to interfere with an order that has suspended the enforcement of the city government's decision that a child's Aadhaar card would have to be mandatorily furnished for his admission to a private unaided recognised school under any of the three categories of economically weaker section (EWS), disadvantaged group (DG) and children with special needs (CWSN).
A bench headed by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma dismissed an appeal filed by the Delhi government against the interim order of a single-judge bench, and said the requirement is prima facie in conflict with the constitutional provisions pertaining to privacy.
