Chhattisgarh HC Declares Aadhaar Unreliable for Age Proof in Accident Compensation Cases

The Chhattisgarh High Court has issued a judgment declaring that an Aadhaar card cannot serve as reliable proof of age in accident compensation cases. The court highlighted that the Aadhaar database may contain inaccuracies and is not updated regularly, making it unsuitable for legal age verification. As a result, victims seeking compensation must provide alternative documents such as birth certificates, school records, or other government‑issued proofs of age. The ruling aligns with earlier judgments that emphasize the need for more reliable age verification methods in legal proceedings.
