Umesh Kuamr Saini S/O Shri Moolchand Saini v. Union of India
Case brief
What is this about?
Neutral citation [2026:RJ-JP:18867]; decided 04/05/2026 by Justice Sameer Jain (Jaipur Bench). A 17-year-old petitioner (through his father/natural guardian) sought mandamus for correction of his date of birth in his Aadhaar card after his update request was rejected (Annexure-6). Counsel submitted that the rejection order itself lists redressal options (helpline 1947, [email protected], Regional Office), and the Amicus Curiae apprised the Court of the UIDAI (E&E Division) SOP dated 19.07.2021. The Court did not adjudicate the correction itself and disposed of the petition, directing the petitioner to pursue the alternate efficacious remedy under the UIDAI guidelines.
What did the court decide?
Liberty to the petitioner to avail the alternate efficacious remedy as provided under the UIDAI guidelines; pending application(s), if any, also stand disposed.
