\u00a0“If we just hold privacy is a fundamental right, Naz judgment <\/a>may become vulnerable”, Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud, J while hearing the issue of ‘right to privacy’.<\/p>\n

On 18.07.2017, the 5-judge bench of J.S. Khehar, CJ and J Chelameswar, SA Bobde, DY Chandrachud & Abdul Nazeer, JJ referred the issue involving violation of right to privacy due to Aadhaar-PAN linkage to a 9-judge Constitution bench as the 8-judge and 6-judge benches in\u00a0M.P. Sharma v. Satish Chandra<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Kharak Singh v. State of U.P.<\/a>, have earlier held that Right to Privacy is not a fundamental right.<\/p>\n

Chandrachud, J was a part of this 9-judge bench when he said that holding that ‘right to privacy’ is a fundamental might right will mean that the 2013 ruling in Suresh Kumar Koushal v. Naz Foundation, (2014) 1 SCC 1, where it was held that Section 377 IPC<\/a> does not violate a person’s right to privacy, will no more be a good law.<\/p>\n

This one remark by Chandrachud, J on the first day of hearing<\/a> is a silver lining for the LGBT community. If ‘right to privacy’ is declared to be a fundamental right, the decision will be binding on the bench hearing the curative petition in the Naz Foundation case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
