<h1>Supreme Court of India Affirms Right to Privacy as Fundamental Under Article 21; Government Supports with Legislative Measures.</h1> The Supreme Court of India has upheld the Right to Privacy as a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution. The Government supports this decision, aligning with its legislative measures that have been approved by Parliament. Historically, previous administrations did not recognize privacy as a constitutional guarantee, notably during the internal emergency. The current Government has legislated the AADHAR scheme with privacy safeguards and plans to introduce a data protection law. The Supreme Court emphasized that while privacy is a fundamental right, it is subject to reasonable restrictions, balancing individual rights with state interests like national security and crime prevention.
