Delhi High Court Stays Aadhaar Biometric Attendance Order for Public Prosecutors
The Delhi High Court has stayed a government order requiring public prosecutors in trial courts to mark attendance daily via the Aadhaar Enabled Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS). The stay follows a petition by the Delhi Prosecutors' Welfare Association, which argued that prosecutors' presence is already recorded in judicial order sheets and that the mandatory biometric attendance is arbitrary, unreasoned, and infringes on privacy rights. The court will hear the matter further in December.
