About the Seminar
The right to privacy has been interpreted as an unarticulated fundamental right under the Constitution of India. However, through various judgments over the years, Indian courts have interpreted the other rights in the Constitution as giving rise to a (limited) right to privacy primarily through Article 21, the right to life and liberty.
Right to Privacy in India has been a contentious issue in recent years and it concerns the lives of many people around the world. Right to privacy is not a constitutionally but judicially recognized right.
This Seminar endeavors to focus on the impact of declaring privacy as a fundamental right, the impact on private entities (non-tate parties) and the potential impact on the anticipated privacy law.
