Question and options
Right to privacy is incorporated within the domain of which right under the Constitution of India?
- Right to Equality
- Right to Life
- Right against Exploitation
- Constitutional Remedies
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - Right to Life
In Justice K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India (2017), a nine-judge bench held that privacy is intrinsic to the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21. It is therefore part of the Right to Life, and not of the Right to Equality, the Right against Exploitation or Constitutional Remedies.
