Justice K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India (2017)

labour mh_cet_law intermediate real_case

The Supreme Court of India made a landmark judgment in 2017, declaring the Right to Privacy a fundamental right under the Constitution. This case revolves around the Aadhaar Act, 2016, which was criticized for compromising individual privacy. The court ruled that the government can't impose any condition that violates Article 21 of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to life and liberty. However, the judgment was met with mixed reactions. Some see it as a victory for individual rights, while others argue it's a blow to government schemes like Aadhaar that aim to provide subsidies and benefits to the poor. The court also held that the Aadhaar system was not necessary for public welfare, making it difficult to implement.

What do you guys think about this judgment? Do you agree or disagree that the right to privacy is a fundamental right?

Mujhe lagta hai ki yeh case aapke liye kafi zaroori ho sakta hai. Yeh case Right to Privacy ki baare mein Supreme Court ke verdict ka sammaan karti hai. Iska matlab yeh si: personal life ka protection, kuchh private information ko share nahi karna padta. Waise, yeh case 8-1 ki majority se decide hua tha. Main isse Right to Privacy aur digital privacy ke matter mein bahut relevant samjhta hoon.
