Abstract
The concept of privacy has evolved significantly with the advancement of technology and the increasing digitization of personal information. In modern democratic societies, the right to privacy is considered an essential component of individual liberty and dignity. In India, the Constitution did not explicitly recognize the right to privacy as a fundamental right in its original framework. However, through judicial interpretation, particularly under Article 21 which guarantees the right to life and personal liberty, the scope of privacy has been gradually expanded. The landmark judgment in the Justice K.S. Puttaswamy case marked a turning point by explicitly recognizing the right to privacy as a fundamental right. This development has had profound implications for data protection, surveillance, and informational autonomy in India.
