After a nine-judge bench led by Chief Justice of India JS Khehar unanimously ruled that privacy is a fundamental right, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi welcomed the landmark judgement.

Rahul tweeted: “SC decision marks a major blow to fascist forces. A sound rejection of the BJP’s ideology of suppression through surveillance.”
“Welcome the SC verdict upholding #RightToPrivacy as an intrinsic part of individual’s liberty, freedom & dignity. A victory for every Indian”, he added.

Notably, this judgment will also have a bearing on civil rights as well as Aadhaar. The other members of the bench were Justice J Chelameswar, Justice RK Agarwal, justice SA Bobde, justice AM Sapre, justice RF Nariman, justice DY Chandrachud, justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice S Abdul Nazeer.

Rahul Gandhi’s reaction to the verdict was followed by West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, who also welcomed the ruling.

In its judgment, the SC said: “It is an individual’s choice as to who enters his house, how he lives and in what relationship. The privacy of the home must protect the family, marriage, procreation and sexual orientation which are all important aspects of dignity.”
