The Supreme Court of India recognized the Right to Privacy as a fundamental right under Article 21, which guarantees the right to life and personal liberty. This landmark judgment in 2017 emphasized that the essence of the right to life includes the right to privacy, as it is integral to the dignity and autonomy of the individual. This interpretation aligns with the broader constitutional framework that protects individual freedoms and highlights the importance of personal liberty in a democratic society, making Article 21 a pivotal aspect of upholding citizens' rights in India.
