1. The Supreme Court, Binoy Viswam vs. Union of India & Others, has held that the Parliament was fully competent to enact Section 139AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and its authority to make this law was not diluted by the orders of this Court. This Court does not find any conflict between the provisions of Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and other subsidies, benefits and services) Act, 2016 and Section 139AA of the Income Tax Act inasmuch as when interpreted harmoniously, they operate in distinct fields.

The Supreme Court, in Aniruddha Ashok Sankhpal vs. State of Maharashtra & Others, has held that though Appellant specifically challenged G.O. in question and there was prayer in writ petition, he raised no argument to that effect or discussion in judgment regarding challenge to that G.O.
