NEW DELHI: July will be a busy month for the Supreme Court after it reconvenes on Monday after a long summer recess. The other important case to be listed for hearing for a regular bench for interim relief will be the contentious Aadhaar case. In examining the case, the top court will have to venture into another legal minefield – whether citizens enjoy a fundamental right to privacy. against his wishes, making obtaining of prior consent in such cases mandatory.Doing otherwise would violate the right against self-incrimination guaranteed to citizens under the Constitution. But Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi’s stand that citizens do not have an absolute right over their bodies forced the court to refer the issue to a larger bench, possibly a seven-judge bench.
