The Supreme Court today said its constitution bench will start hearing a clutch of petitions challenging the Centre's move to make Aadhaar card mandatory for availing various services and benefits of government welfare schemes from the last week of November.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud said this after Attorney General K K Venugopal told the court that the Centre was ready to argue in the matter and that no interim order was required to be passed without hearing him in the case.
