HYDERABAD: The Telangana High Court has put its foot down on the current process of the registration of non-agricultural properties in the State. A division bench on Thursday directed the State government to revise the user manual, meant for the registration of the properties, by deleting Aadhaar, caste and relevant references from it and the software. It also ordered an immediate halt on slot bookings and providing PTIN for the registrations till the user manual is revised.
The bench made it clear that the court is worried about the safety and security of sensitive data such as citizens Aadhaar numbers. It, however, permitted the government to continue with the registration without seeking Aadhaar, caste and family members details of buyers, sellers and witnesses.
