Several petitioners challenging the validity of Aadhaar had claimed it violated privacy rights.<\/p>\n<p>The Centre had on October 25 told the Supreme Court that the deadline for mandatory linking of Aadhaar to receive the benefits of government schemes has been extended till March 31, 2018 for those who do not have the 12-digit unique biometric identification number and were willing to enroll for it.<\/p>\n<p>Some petitioners in the top court have termed the linking of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) number with bank accounts and mobile numbers as &#8220;illegal and unconstitutional&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>They also objected to the CBSE&#8217;s alleged move to make Aadhaar card mandatory for students appearing for examinations, a contention denied by the Centre.<\/p>\n<p>One of the counsel representing the petitioners had earlier said that final hearing in the main Aadhaar matter, which is pending before the apex court, was necessary as the government &#8220;cannot compel&#8221; citizens to link their Aadhaar with either bank accounts or cell phone numbers.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court today agreed to hear tomorrow a petition challenging the constitutional validity of the Aadhaar Act.
