The Supreme Court of India has issued a landmark ruling and declared privacy a fundamental right since ________.
Answer: D
The date is 24 August 2017.
On 24 August 2017, in Justice K. S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India, a nine-judge bench of the Supreme Court unanimously held that the right to privacy is a fundamental right under Article 21.
The 2010 dates and 11 August 2017 are not the date of the judgment.
The judgment overruled the earlier decisions in M. P. Sharma and Kharak Singh, which had denied that privacy was a fundamental right. The court held that privacy is part of the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 and of the freedoms in Part III as a whole. The date of the judgment is 24 August 2017.
