Finding the Right to Privacy

In october 2015, a five member constitution bench of the Supreme court was formed under the Article 145 (3) of the constitution. The bench primarily dealt with the justice K S Puttaswamy (Retd.) & vs Union of India and others case, which raised objections against Aadhar card scheme. As per the petitioners, the Aadhar enrollment requires the submission of demographic and bio-metric information and thus, it violates the individuals to right to privacy.
