Fundamental Rights

Under which of the following Articles of the Constitution of India, has the Supreme Court of India placed the Right to Privacy?

B.Article 16
A.Article 15
C.Article 19
D.Article 21

Correct Answer: Option D

In Justice K.S. Puttaswamy (Retd) vs Union of India, the Supreme Court of India declared the Right to Privacy a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution of India.

In this landmark judgement, the Supreme Court overruled earlier verdicts from the M.P. Sharma case (1958) and the Kharak Singh case (1961), which had stated that the Right to Privacy was not protected under the Indian Constitution.

Therefore, option (d) is the correct answer.
