Abstract

It seems to be saddening that although India got its freedom back in 1947, it took 70 more years to grant its citizens, the freedom of being alone. The Right to Privacy unlike in the U.S was not deemed to be an absolute right and hence, there followed several cases in the Indian Courts until the year 2018, when the Hon’ble Supreme Court, in the Puttaswamy Judgment held privacy as an inviolable or unassailable and non-negotiable right or secure from destruction.
