The Supreme Court today asked the Centre to apprise it within two weeks about the steps which can be taken to scrutinise the existing and future mobile users in the country.
A bench headed by Chief Justice J S Khehar said mobile numbers are now being used for banking purposes also and asked Centre to put in place mechanism to ensure verification of mobile phone subscribers to ward off fraud.
The bench was hearing a plea seeking direction to the Centre to put in place a proper mechanism to check the authenticity of information provided by mobile users. The verification has become more important in view of the fact that mobile phones are now being used for banking purposes also. #casansaar (NewsonAir)
