Salary can't be stopped for not linking A/C with Aadhaar: Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court on Monday said that a person's salary cannot be withheld on failure to link his bank account with the Aadhaar card. It questioned the Centre's decision of stopping a port trust employee named Ramesh Purale's salary since 2016 on the aforementioned grounds. Purale refused to link his account with Aadhaar citing his fundamental right to privacy.
