"Privacy on the internet? That's an oxymoron"- Catherine Butler.
ABSTRACT
India's Constitution recognizes privacy as a fundamental right in Article 211. Since there was no legislation pertaining to data protection at first, there were claims of violations of private rights. To address these issues, Indian courts have nevertheless issued precedent-setting rulings and guidelines. It is crucial to examine these legal developments to determine the level of protection afforded to citizens' right to privacy.
Even though the Indian legal system has acknowledged the right to privacy and taken action to stop data theft and misuse, more can be done to improve data protection. In the current digital era, ongoing efforts are required to guarantee that the privacy rights of Indian citizens are completely protected.
The goal of this article is to examine the legal aspects of data privacy in the digital age, covering both recent and seminal case laws that have influenced the field's development.
