Upadhyay moved the Court contending that linking of Aadhaar with property documents would curb corruption, black money and benami transactions.
The government, he said, is duty bound to take steps to curb corruption and black money and seize benami properties in order to secure the goals set under Article 21 of the Constitution.
Linking movable-immovable properties with the owner’s Aadhaar number could be an answer to curb the menace, he submitted.
“Black money holders would be forced to declare their unaudited movable and unmovable properties and it will take years to generate that amount of benami property again. Thus, in a long way it will help in putting an end to the black money generation.”
Listing the benefits of the system, Upadhyay further claimed that if the government made it mandatory to link property documents with Aadhaar, it would lead to an increment of 2% in annual growth.
“(Linking Aadhaar with property documents) will clean our electoral process, which is dominated by black-money and benami transaction and thrives on a cycle of large black investments, capture of power through foul means, use of political strength to amass private wealth, all with disdain,” the plea added.
