Venkataramani appearing on behalf of the Centre that the new Data Protection Bill (\u2018the new Bill\u2019) was ready to be introduced in the Monsoon Session of the Parliament to be held in July 2023 which would address all the concerns raised by the petitioners, during the course of hearing of the matter pertaining to the latest privacy policy of WhatsApp. The Bench consequently deferred the hearing till August 2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The issue before the Court pertains to the question whether WhatsApp&#8217;s privacy policy which was introduced in January 2021 is in violation of right to privacy under Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574949\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">21<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Constitution of India<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Bench on 11-04-2023 directed the registry to place the matter before the Chief Justice of India so that the Constitution Bench could be constituted afresh by the first week of August 2023 since two judges of the existing Bench i.e., Justice Joseph and Justice Rastogi were to retire in June 2023<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">\u201c<i>We take note of the submission of the AG that a Bill which would address all concerns will be tabled in the monsoon session in July 23.

He pointed out the fact that even earlier the Bench was apprised that the new Bill would be introduced in the Winter Session of Parliament, which never took place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">\u201c<i>I would request that it be listed earlier, because it was listed in September&#8230;then they had till January&#8230;because it was supposed to be introduced in the winter session<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">However, the Attorney General emphasised on the fact that qualified consultation was a continues process.
