As it weighs the..(1)..of the Aadhaar project, the Supreme Court now..(2)..the lack of a clearly defined right to privacy. How can a unique biometric ID be held to violate a right that is imprecise in the first place?

Instead of..(10)..in the Supreme Court, the Centre should take the initiative to urgently create and pass privacy legislation in Parliament.
