Correct Answer - Option 3 : Article 21

The correct answer is Article 21.

  • Article 21:
    • Right to privacy is protected as an intrinsic part of the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 and as a part of the freedoms guaranteed by Part III of the Constitution.
    • In Puttaswamy v. Union of India case, 2017, the Right to Privacy was declared a fundamental right by the Supreme Court.
    • Generally understood that privacy is synonymous with the right to be let alone.
    • The right may be restricted only by state action that passes each of the three tests:
      • First, such state action must have a legislative mandate;
      • Second, it must be pursuing a legitimate state purpose; and
      • Third, it must be proportionate i.e., such state action- both in its nature and extent, must be necessary in a democratic society and the action ought to be the least intrusive of the available alternatives to accomplish the ends.
