The matter is going to come up in the last week of November and the time (to link Aadhaar with bank accounts) has been extended till December 31,&#8221; the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>On October 30, a bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra had said that a constitution bench would be constituted and Aadhaar-related matters would come up for hearing before it in November last.<\/p>\n<p>Several petitions challenging the Centre&#8217;s move to make Aadhaar card mandatory for availing various services and benefits of welfare schemes have been filed in the apex court.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, a nine-judge constitution bench of the apex court had held that Right to Privacy was a Fundamental Right under the Constitution.
