The Supreme Court is likely to pronounce a number of significant judgements today. These include verdicts on constitutional validity of Aadhaar, live streaming of court proceedings and granting quota benefits in promotions to SC/ST employees.

The court is also expected to deliver a judgement on a question whether the grant of stay on the conviction of a disqualified lawmaker by an appellate court would revive his or her membership of a House.

A five-judge constitution bench, headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra, is expected to pronounce its verdict on a batch of pleas challenging the constitutional validity of Centre’s flagship Aadhaar scheme and its enabling 2016 law. The bench had, in May, reserved the verdict on the matter following a marathon hearing that went on for 38 days, spanning four-and-half months.

The key argument against Aadhaar was that it was violative of the nine-judge bench verdict that had held that Right to Privacy is a fundamental right. The Centre had said, the law was valid and it ensured proper delivery of subsidies, benefits and services to the poor.
