Explanation: Judicial activism has brought the Right to Privacy within the realm of Fundamental Rights. The Supreme Court of India has construed "right to privacy" as a part of the Fundamental Right to "protection of life and personal liberty" under Article 21 of the Constitution, which states "no person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedures established by law". In the context of personal liberty, the Supreme Court has observed "those who feel called upon to deprive other persons of their personal liberty in the discharge of what they conceive to be their duty must strictly and scrupulously observe the forms and rules of the law". |
