Citizens whose names appeared on the first National Register of Citizens (NRC) list were said to have received their Aadhar cards, but this was not the case for those whose names appeared on the second list, according to a petition.
R. Venkataramani, India’s attorney general, sought two weeks to look into the matter.
The case will now be heard on November 9, 2022.
