New Delhi: February 24, 2026

Not Investigation Agency
CJI: Serious issue needs detailed probe/policy decision—”Court not suitable forum.” Approach Centre for law changes. -
Aadhaar ≠ Citizenship

-
Representation of People Act 1950 Section 23(4) accepts Aadhaar as 12th ID proof.
-
Officers can demand additional verification.
Next Steps
