Explanation: The Supreme Court ruled that "the right to privacy is protected as an intrinsic part of the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 and as a part of the freedoms guaranteed by Part 111 of the Constitution" so Option C is right. [Ref: Indian Express 2017- August] Let's also look at the wrong options:Article 14- Gives the Right to Equality. 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act 1976, is known as mini constitution. Article 17- Related to the Abolition of Untouchability, It is part of Right to Equality. Part IV- Directive Principles of State Policy, does not have any mention about the Privacy. Article 24- Prohibition of employment of children in factories, etc. 44th Constitution Amendment- 44th amendment of the Constitution was enacted by the Janata Government mainly to nullify some of the amendments made by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976. |
