Justice D.Y. Chandrachud of the Supreme Court on Wednesday sought reference to a seven-judge bench the Centre’s decision to pass the Aadhaar Act in 2015, on the ground that “it would have serious consequences — not just for judicial discipline, but also for the ends of justice”.

Justice Chandrachud disagreed with the majority opinion of four other judges on the bench who dismissed a batch of petitions seeking review of the 2018 judgment by another constitution bench that had upheld the validity of the Act.
