SC Refuses to Interfere with Madras HC Order on DMK OTP
The Supreme Court has decided not to overturn a lower court's decision regarding the DMK party.
The lower court had previously told the DMK they couldn't use a specific method of verifying people's information for their enrollment process.
The Supreme Court agreed with the lower court, calling the situation 'sensitive' and questioning the process.
The DMK's lawyer said they weren't collecting certain types of personal data.
Basically, the DMK is not allowed to use this verification method for now, and the court is concerned about the process.
Supreme Court dismissed DMK's appeal against Madras HC's order.
Madras HC had restrained DMK from using OTP verification for enrollment.
The Supreme Court cited the issue as 'sensitive' and the process as 'suspect'.
DMK argued against the HC order, stating no injunction was sought.
DMK's advocate clarified the party wasn't collecting Aadhaar details.
