Supreme Court dismisses Aadhaar review petitions
Why is it in news?
- The Lok Sabha Speaker had certified Aadhaar law as a Money Bill and it was subsequent passed in Parliament.
- The 2018 Supreme Court judgment had upheld the Lok Sabha Speaker’s certification of Aadhaar law as a Money Bill and its subsequent passage in Parliament.
- Two questions had come up for review regarding the five-judge Aadhaar Bench’s judgment in 2018:
(1) Whether the Speaker’s decision to declare a proposed law as Money Bill was “final” and cannot be challenged in court.
(2) Whether the Aadhaar Act, 2016 was correctly certified as a ‘Money Bill’ under Article 110 (1) of the Constitution.
