Indian Supreme Court Judgment on 24 September, 2017 upheld right to privacy as ...................... .
Answer: D
The judgment upheld privacy as part of the right to life.
In Justice K.S. Puttaswamy (Retd.) v. Union of India, a nine-judge bench of the Supreme Court held unanimously that the right to privacy is a fundamental right, protected as an intrinsic part of the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 and as part of the freedoms in Part III. (The judgment was delivered on 24 August 2017; the paper prints September.)
Privacy was not grounded in freedom of expression alone, and the right to property (no longer a fundamental right) and employment were not its basis.
