Aadhaar row : Right to privacy verdict likely next week

The Supreme Court is likely to pronounce verdict next week on whether the right to privacy is a fundamental right.

The remark by a bench of Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justice D Y Chandrachud came after senior advocate Salman Khurshid sought urgent listing of his petition challenging passing of the Aadhaar Bill as a Money Bill.

The court said all Aadhaar-related matters would be taken up once the verdict on Right to Privacy was delivered.  A nine-judge Constitution bench had reserved verdict on the issue on August 2 after voicing concern over possible misuse of personal information in public domain.
