#DestroyTheAadhaar is the primary prayer of the Petitioners. That case has now been made before the final adjudicating body in the country. The fate of the only such project in any democracy that sought to fingerprint its entire population, hangs in the balance.
Many people to thank. Profusely. First, the Petitioners. All distinguished citizens and indefatigable champions of civil liberties. @sgvombatkere @BezwadaWilson @mathew111938 @nikhilmkss @vvcrishna @gnowgi @ramakumarr, Aruna Roy, Shantha Sinha, Dr. Kalyani Menon Sen, ...

A great team of counsel that assisted the senior advocates present the case at various points in time - including @udayb86 @aparatbar @gautambhatia88 @VrindaBhandari @n_saivinod @Ujwala_U @Kritika12 @suchindranbn @SFLCin and many others not on twitter (yet).
A great team of absolutely relentless AORs that have expended every possible assistance in preparing the record before the Court - there is not one piece of relevant document that did not form part of the record in the Court. @nairvipin73 , @BhatiAishwarya & many others.
A great group of people here on Twitter that helped keep the interest in the case high @Stupidosaur @godavar @Vidyut @anantha @ajantriks @nixxin @jackerhack @digitaldutta @Memeghnad @no2uid @praavita and many many others!
The final and the most special note of thanks, as no one would dispute, have to go to Usha Ramanathan who was instrumental in evolving the language and vocabulary for a legal and constitutional challenge to a new age problem such as this.
