January 21, 2021 The Supreme Court has dismissed petitions seeking review of the 2018 judgment that upheld the certification of the Aadhaar Act as a money bill, and its subsequent passage in Parliament in that form. The majority judgment said there was “no case of review” and threw out the seven review petitions. The order was passed by a five-judge bench headed by Justice A.M. Khanwilkar. Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, who gave the only dissenting opinion in the 2018 Puttaswamy judgment, also dissented to the Supreme Court dismissing the review petitions. Drawing out a map of how another bench of the Supreme Court later called out the failings of the Puttaswamy judgment around money bills, Justice Chandrachud said that “it is a constitutional error to hold at this stage that no ground exists to review the judgment”.
