HC Background4

W.P.(C) No. 494/2012

JUSTICE K.S.PUTTASWAMY(RETD) VS UNION OF INDIA

The Nine-Judge Bench wrote five opinions. All nine judges unanimously upheld the right to privacy as a part of the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution, and a protected right across the fundamental freedoms guaranteed under Part III of the Constitution (Fundamental Rights). The Supreme Court held that privacy is inherent and inseparable from dignified human existence. A majority of judges agreed that an individual's privacy can only be interfered with by a measure based on a law, is necessary to secure a legitimate government interest, and the interference with privacy is proportionate to the government’s objective. Justice Chandrachud authored a plurality opinion on behalf of Chief Justice Khehar, Justice Agrawal, Justice Nazeer, and himself. Justice Chelameswar, Justice Bobde, Justice Nariman, Justice Kaul, and Justice Sapre all authored separate concurring opinions.
