The petition has been filed by Supreme Court advocate Rudra Vikram Singh, highlighting how identity theft is being used to register fake firms and issue fraudulent GST invoices, causing massive losses to the national exchequer.

Singh, who claims to be a victim, revealed that his PAN card and digital signature were misused to register a bogus company name in Ballari, Karna-taka.
