The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) notice to a resident of Hyderabad, Sattar Khan, allegedly asking him to prove his nationality, will be challenged in Telangana HC, said city-based advocate Mohammed Sohail Malik.
Speaking to News Agency Malik said, "We want Aadhaar authority to drop this proceeding & if they don't, we will challenge the notice in the Telangana HC."
He said a person named Sattar Khan received notice from Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) stating Sattar received Aadhaar card by submitting false documents.
"UIDAI stated that they have received some complaint that Sattar received Aadhaar card by submitting false documents. They have asked him to submit his documents on Feb 20 to prove his nationality," he said.
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has issued notices to 127 people in Hyderabad.
Meanwhile, Sattar Khan said, "I was born in Sanath Nagar area of Hyderabad & my father used to work as a govt employee & later shifted to Talab Katta area."
"I have received a notice asking to prove my nationality by the authorities. I was scared & approached lawyer Sohail Malik. My father was also born here in Himayatsagar," he added.
Earlier today, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) clarified that reports of some residents being served notices by the RO Hyderabad over their Aadhaar allegedly obtained on false documents are "not being presented in the correct perspective".
"There are news items in certain section of media regarding UIDAI issuing notices of inquiry to some residents for obtaining Aadhaar on false pretence on the complaints from the state police, who suspect them of being illegal immigrants. UIDAI clarifies that these reports are not presented in correct perspective & Aadhaar has got nothing to do with the citizenship issue as such," a press release by the UIDAI read.
