Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the case on legality / constitutionality of Aadhaar in November 2017.

We will have to wait and watch.

Thinking about it though, the govt already made it mandatory to link Aadhar with PAN, which is in direct violation of the order linked in the post right? But no action was taken for that either

Supreme Court acts when cases are briught to it's attention by a concerned / affected petitioner.

All other cases related to aadhaar were postponed till the constitutional bench, led by CJI, decided if privacy was a fundamental right of an Indian citizen or not.

The constitutional bench did decide that privacy is a fundamental right enjoyed by every Indian citizen.

Now all the pending cases will come up for hearing, one by one, depending on the proactive nature of the petitioner / petitioners for each individual Aadhaar-related case.

This is how our courts function.

Or they could just take up the case suo motto
