In a recent observation, a High Court reaffirmed that while the right to privacy is a fundamental right under the Constitution, it is not absolute and can be subjected to reasonable restrictions. The court noted that in matters involving public interest, national security, or the need for transparent investigation, certain intrusions into personal privacy may be justified. The remark came during the hearing of a case involving surveillance and data collection, where the court emphasized the balance between individual rights and the larger societal or legal interests that may warrant limited curbs on privacy.
