CONCEPT NOTE: <\/strong>Humans are born with certain basic rights that are recognised in a civilised society. Some rights are inherent and some are incidental to human personality. Right to life, liberty and dignity are basic ones. Citizens, in a society driven by democratic and republican values, constitute a central part in the governance. There are situations where an individual in a free society expects to be free from the shackles of the governance and there comes the expectation of privacy so far as personal, private and intimate affairs are concerned. Many legal systems in the world, including couple of international legal instruments have also documented concerns for privacy, in the personal affairs of the individual. However,\u00a0 there\u00a0 exist\u00a0 two\u00a0 schools\u00a0 of\u00a0 thought,\u00a0 one \u00a0concerning about basic rights of individuals such as food, shelter, livelihood, right to life etc. which recognises the privacy as \u201celitists\u201d concept and the second, considers it as essential for the \u201chuman dignity” and\u00a0 \u201chuman\u00a0 personality\u201d.\u00a0 The\u00a0 \u201cPrivacy\u00a0 Jurisprudence\u201d\u00a0is a seven decade old and has been highly debated. Earlier Supreme Court rulings in M.P. Sharma v. Satish Chandra, DM, Delhi (1954) and Kharak Singh v. State of UP (1962), have rejected the right to privacy as fundamental right, under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. However, the legal controversy was put to rest only last year, when a nine-Judge Bench of the Supreme Court in Justice K.S. Puttaswamy (Retd.) v. Union of India, (2017) 10 SCC 1<\/a> have unanimously agreed that right to privacy is fundamental right under Article 21. The judgement is historic and unprecedented in India. A legal challenge to Aadhar Act, may be decided by the Supreme Court of India, in the light of the said landmark ruling.<\/p>\n

The National Seminar, 2018 on \u201c Right to Privacy in the Contemporary Legal Environment\u201d will have a technical and detailed deliberations on the legal implications of the latest ruling of Supreme Court of India. The National Seminar, 2018 will witness the presence of legal fraternity and the students of law. Several new facets and themes will be explored in the form of research papers to be presented by the participants. National Seminar, 2018 will also witness presentations\u00a0 and\u00a0 deliberations\u00a0 by\u00a0 the\u00a0 Experts and Jurists on the subject.<\/p>\n
