In the landmark judgment of Justice K.S. Puttaswamy (Retd.) vs Union of India (2017), the Supreme Court of India unanimously held that the Right to Privacy is a Fundamental Right protected under the Constitution. While the Court noted that privacy has multiple facets that may overlap with other rights (like Article 19), it primarily rooted the Right to Privacy in the Right to Life and Personal Liberty guaranteed by Article 21.
