In which of the following case, the Supreme Court held that right to privacy is a fundamental right?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

K. S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India (2017) established that privacy is constitutionally protected as part of life and personal liberty under Article 21 and the freedoms in Part III. The nine-judge Bench overruled M. P. Sharma and the contrary part of Kharak Singh on this issue. Those earlier cases therefore cannot be grouped with Puttaswamy as decisions establishing the same fundamental-right holding.
