Patna: The Patna High Court has recently upheld the requirement of Aadhaar-based facial authentication and GPS location sharing for marking attendance of faculty members in medical colleges in Bihar, while observing that if the National Medical Commission (NMC) introduces an attendance system of faculty members, such system should not be scrapped on the grounds of 'arbitrariness' and being 'unconstitutional'.
