                In the meanwhile, no person should suffer for  not  getting
        the Adhaar card inspite of the fact that some authority had  issued
        a circular making it mandatory and when any person applies  to  get
        the Adhaar Card voluntarily, it may be checked whether that  person
        is entitled for it under the law and it should not be given to  any
        illegal immigrant.
