Dear All, 

You may already have heard that the right to privacy was recently questioned before the Indian Supreme Court. The judges will soon rule on whether it exists and how far it stretches. 

In preparation for the judgment, we have put together this infographic based on our dataset of Supreme Court cases that have upheld the right to privacy over the last 63 years. This is to illustrate how rich our privacy jurisprudence has been over these decades. 

We have a detailed note on the background of the case here. Our blog also summarises the arguments made during the hearings. Our comments on the questions being asked and the challenge before the Supreme Court are available here. 

We welcome your feedback and any questions that you might have about the dataset. Please do circulate the infographic to anyone who might be interested in it. 

Best,

Chinmayi and Smitha

 PS: The attachments were too heavy for these mailing lists but we will be happy to share the infographic with you in pdf and high definition formats if you write to us.
