As there were no specific provisions of providing such details to the police, Justice Anoop Chitkara passed these orders while exercising the court's powers, allowing a petition filed by police, seeking directions to (UIDAI to) provide information relating to Aadhaar cards for probing a criminal case involving fake ones. The plea was filed by the UT under CrPC Section 482 (inherent powers of HC). The Aadhaar Act states the power to give required information vests with the HC.
