Right to Privacy Constitutional Protection

Right to Privacy has been recognized by the Supreme Court as an intrinsic part of Article 21 (Right to Life and Personal Liberty). This landmark interpretation was established through judicial pronouncements, particularly in the Justice K.S. Puttaswamy case. Article 21 protects life and personal liberty, and the freedoms guaranteed in Part III (Fundamental Rights) work in conjunction with this protection. Article 14 deals with equality before law, Article 17 abolishes untouchability, Article 24 prohibits child labour, and the 42nd Amendment dealt with emergency powers. Therefore, option (c) is most appropriate as it directly refers to Article 21 which is the constitutional basis for the right to privacy, along with Part III freedoms. > Right to Privacy flows from Article 21 (Life and Liberty) as per constitutional jurisprudence. Answer: (c).
