Santosh, who according to the report, works with an ayurvedic clinic also narrated a very dramatic picture of his father's life which nonetheless is true according to him.

The bench is hearing cases against the whole Adhaar scheme itself.

In a series of tweets, UIDAI said, "As per the Supreme Court's order dated 13th March 2018, the requirement of Aadhaar for opening new bank accounts and applying for Tatkal passports under the relevant laws continues".

Santosh later claimed that he had found a letter written by his father N Bhanu Vikaraman and said that his father was troubled by having to go through formalities at old age. Santosh said that his father died because he felt insulted when he was filling the life certificate form at a provident fund office in his city, Bengaluru. He also expressed his anxiety over his father's details "getting misused". In his argument, Santosh said that the Aadhaar scheme is like an "undeclared emergency".

The constitutional panel of five judges ruled that services other than subsidies can not be withheld while it is hearing a range of petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the Aadhaar program.

The arguments alleging invalidity of data, collected during 2009-2016 due to the lack of a statute, were advanced before a five-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra which is hearing a clutch of pleas including one filed by former high court judge K S Puttaswamy challenging the constitutional validity of the Centre's flagship Aadhaar scheme and its enabling 2016 Act.

Senior advocates Anand Grover and Meenakshi Arora also addressed the court for the petitioners and termed the Aadhaar and its enabling Act as unconstitutional and in violation of fundamental rights.

The top court had, on Wednesday, extended the March 31 deadline for mandatory linking of Aadhaar to avail various services and welfare schemes run by the government till it delivered its verdict on the validity of the 12-digit biometric number and its enabling law.
