SC Agrees To Hear PIL To Link Aadhaar With Voter ID & Property Documents
The Supreme Court today agreed to hear after 4 weeks a PIL seeking a direction to Election Commission to implement ‘Aadhaar Based Election Voting System’, to curtail bogus votes and ensure maximum participation, and link Aadhaar with movable and immovable property documents so that benami transactions can be tackled. It effects ordinary citizen’s rights to get elected and puts him to great disadvantage due to reduced win-ability factor as the fake and fabricated votes are generally polled in favour of candidates having money and muscle power.” On linking with the property it said, “Since most people already have an Aadhaar number, asking them to link it to their property documents is a better option. In these cases, the original property documents are kept by the ‘original owners’ and in most cases, they also keep power of attorney signed by ‘legal owners’. Once the Aadhaar linkage happens, tax authorities can approach the ‘legal owners’ and it can be treated as benami property if the ‘legal owners are unaware or denies knowledge of the ownership’.
Govt clamps down on benami properties, may make Aadhaar linking mandatory soon
