Delhi High Court Seeks Centre's Response on Mandatory Aadhaar for LPG Subsidy
The Delhi High Court has sought the Centre's response to a petition challenging the mandatory biometric Aadhaar authentication for subsidised domestic LPG refills starting October 1. The petitioner, who has a visual disability, argued that the requirement, including iris scans, poses difficulties for disabled individuals. The Centre defended the measure as necessary to prevent subsidy misuse and assured accommodations for persons with disabilities. The court has given two weeks for the government and related bodies to reply.
