Supreme Court issues notice to Central Government and Election Commission

The bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi, while hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by advocate Ashwani Upadhyay, has issued a notice to the Central Government and the Election Commission of India (CIC).

Know why it cannot be implemented now?

The court said that ‘We will consider whether such a path can be adopted for the next parliamentary elections or assembly elections.

When we use biometrics for everything from opening a bank account to getting a SIM card, then why not use it in electing the government?

The petition argues that when we can use biometrics for everything from opening a bank account to getting a SIM card, why should it not be used to elect the government of the country?
