Delhi High Court Friday sought the Centre’s response on a PIL seeking direction to utilise biometric and Aadhaar details of missing persons, so that they can be re-united with their families.
The missing persons include children, aged and mentally challenged persons.
A bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and C Hari Shankar issued notice to the Ministry of Home Affairs on the plea which also sought direction to the authorities to spread awareness in this regard.
The bench asked the ministry to file an action taken report on the representation made by the petitioner to the authorities and listed the matter for further hearing on 13th November.
