The Supreme Court has decided to set up a five-judge Constitution Bench to hear an array of pleas against the mandatory linking of Aadhaar with mobile numbers and bank accounts while the governments remain firm on December 31 deadline for those who already have the biometric ID. The apex court had received several petitions challenging the Centre's move to make Aadhaar linking with mobile numbers and bank accounts. The bench will hear pleas in the last week of November. Meanwhile, the centre filed an affidavit defending charges against Aadhaar.
