CJI UU Lalit led bench to hear a plea by PUCL seeking to issue directions to implement Shreya Singhal v Union of India, which declared Section #66A of the Information Technology Act, 2000 unconstitutional..The application seeks to prevent unconstitutional arrests

#SupremeCourt
Sr Adv Sanjay Parikh: the shreya singhal judgment struck down 66A. But then we came across cases being registered under it. We had approached SC and directions were passed but even then cases are being passed. AG Venugopal had appeared.notice had gone to union and states
Parikh: The results which have come out from the states is really shocking. Please see reply from states which shows the gravity of the situation. If SC judgment is not implemented then what happens to rule of law

Now that the lawyers have run their marathon and we wait for the top court to rule, a small personal diary note thread on #Aadhaar & me.

Huge thanks to community of people who have widened my wisdom of how society works. Fellow helpless people helping each other.
It started sometime in 2011, when I knew nothing, enrolled along with family.But our enrollment packets were lost, EID wasnt even searchable. I did write some emails to support, but yielded nothing more than, please enroll again. As the need wasn't real, did not enroll.
Parents gave up at a later date, enrolled, got UID successfully generated. I resisted, mostly because of laziness, but did not have developed trust enough to enroll. On random browsing sessions, have heard Usha Ramanathan on YouTube, but never took deep dive into issues.
