Khehar, CJ and J. Chelameswar, S.A. Bobde, R.K. Agrawal, R.F. Nariman, A.M. Sapre, Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud, S.K. Kaul and S.A. Nazeer, JJ is hearing the issue of \u2018right to privacy\u2019 since 19.07.2017 and today was the 4th day of hearing. Petitioners had already concluded their arguments on 20.07.2017. Here are the 15 biggest takeaways from the Union and States&#8217; submissions till now:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Senior Advocate<strong> Kapil Sibal<\/strong>:\u00a0Privacy is not an absolute right. Will never be. The Court will have to strike a balance. You should not lay down the law but just to hold the existence of the inalienable inherent right.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Attorney General<strong> KK Venugopal<\/strong>:\u00a0Privacy can be one of the species of personal liberty.\u00a0This right of privacy consists of a large number of sub-species.\u00a0All these sub species cannot be elevated to the level of a fundamental right.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud, J<\/strong>: If we say privacy is not a Fundamental Right at all it would be a blanket sanction of anything the State can do.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s preposterous to state that India will become totalitarian because of Aadhaar.\u00a0Privacy claims require better priority in developed countries.\u00a0In a developing country there should be no Fundamental Right to privacy.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud, J: <\/strong>Privacy is not an elitist concern and it is equally applicable to the large masses.\u00a0For example if State wants\u00a0forced sterilization on slum dwellers for population control among that group, perhaps only privacy claim may stand in the way.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Attorney General<strong> KK Venugopal:\u00a0<\/strong>World Bank has said that something like Aadhaar should be followed by all countries.\u00a0Article 21 includes right to live with dignity I.e also to basic needs such as food reasonable environment, suitable accommodation etc. An Act passed with those salutary objects cannot be defeated on claims to privacy.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>J. Chelameswar, J: <\/b>There is not data protection\u00a0n Aadhaar. The moment you put fingerprint whole world has the data access.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Attorney General<strong> KK Venugopal<\/strong>:\u00a0Section 29 of the Act provides for prohibition of disclosure of core biometrics.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<strong>Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud, J:\u00a0<\/strong>Where is the protection for the mobile number? Why medical history is excluded from definition of demographic info and why they are not protected? There is no robust data protection mechanism.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>S.A. Bobde<\/b>\u00a0and<strong> R.F.\u00a0Nariman, JJ\u00a0<\/strong>(To Tushar Mehta appearing for UIDIA) :<b>\u00a0<\/b>So you have enacted this to protect privacy! Then why are you disputing the right.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Attorney General KK Venugopal<\/strong>:The very fact that there is an Act passed to protect privacy means there is no Fundamental Rights.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Senior Advocate<strong> C.A. Sundaram<\/strong>: There is no unambiguous definition of privacy to be crystallized as a right<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>CJI and S.A. Bobde, J<\/strong>: Life, liberty and dignity are also not defined but they are all Fundamental Rights.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Senior Advocate<strong> C.A. Sundaram:\u00a0<\/strong>Law is set of rules by which society interacts. There are NDMC rules that compound walls can only be three feet. If privacy becomes Fundamental Right, all cases challenging such laws will come before the Court.\u00a0Even if the bench were to hold the right, it will have to define it to some extent.\u00a0Every Government action has an impact on privacy, therefore, a broad constitutional right to privacy must not be laid down.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>R.F. Nariman, J:<\/strong> We are going to consider all aspects and give a comprehensive judgment for conceptual clarity for the nation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Looking for a cheat sheet for petitioners&#8217; submissions?
