The Delhi High Court on Thursday asked the Union and Delhi governments to consider, as a representation, a petition to link immovable and movable property documents of citizens with their Aadhaar numbers, in order to curb corruption, black money generation, and ‘benami’ transactions.
While asking the Union and Delhi governments to decide on the representation within three months, the High Court said that these were policy decisions in which the courts could not direct the government.
“These are policy decisions; how can the courts tell them to do this? Prima facie, what I don’t understand is that these are the areas we don’t have the complete picture or data, what are the various aspects that may emerge... Best is to let them treat it as a representation and let them decide,” the High Court said.
