The HC upheld the mandatory linkage of Aadhaar with PAN for Demat account operations, rejecting a senior citizen's challenge who deliberately avoided Aadhaar enrollment. The court found that SS139AA of the Income Tax Act satisfies the Puttaswamy triple test of legality, necessity, and proportionality.
