May ask for blood sample tomorrow: SC on Aadhaar body powers
Expressing concern at the 2016 Aadhaar law saying it gave UIDAI "excessive powers", Supreme Court has said the Aadhaar-issuing body could ask for people's blood samples for DNA testing tomorrow. Under Aadhaar Act, the UIDAI can ask for any biological attributes of an individual. The five-judge bench has held 25 daily hearings in petitions challenging Aadhaar's validity since January.
