According to Article 12 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights Act, which is as follows:
"The right to privacy is recognised as a fundamental human right."
Nobody shall be the target of arbitrary intrusion into their personal space, that of their family, their home, or their correspondence, as well as attacks on their honour and reputation.
More than 150 countries throughout the world have specific provisions in their national constitutions pertaining to the right to privacy. However, the drafters of our Constitution did not deem it necessary to include a specific Article that guarantees people' right to privacy when it was approved in the early 1950s. The Right to Privacy is not a basic right protected by our country's Constitution, according to the Apex Court in a string of rulings.
