Subject: Police Excesses in States
Sir/Madam,
Undersigned has been directed to apprise all the State Home Ministers that the entire Lok Sabha has expressed its sincere concern and has taken a serious view of the excesses committed by the police more or less throughout the country.
The department of police comes under the state list, so it is the sacred responsibility of all the states to check the recurrences of any such cases. Cases of deaths in police custody, indiscreet firing, cases of violence and rape against women and similar other indecent cases of torture, have been reported frequently by the Press. Human Rights violation is a crime even if committed by a government department.

4. The honourable Home Minister has expressed great concern over the situation and has earnestly desired that the police ought to be sensitised and be trained to deal with common people politely and also to exercise the powers within their limits.
Strong and strict action must also be initiated against the criminals irrespective of their status in the society.
Therefore, it is urgently required that a meeting of all the Superintendents of police of the states be called to discuss the ways and means to regulate proper conduct. A report is to be sent to the ministry at the earliest.

THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY IN INDIA
There is no definite, legal definition of privacy. Scholars tend to define it as something which every person enjoys by virtue of being a human being. It cannot be strictly defined but it extends to all spheres of human activity which is a reasonable need for peaceful existence. Privacy is important for human welfare and it enjoys a robust legal framework internationally.

6. The right of Privacy burst into social consciousness recently when the Supreme Court held it a part of the fundamental rights under Article 21.
Especially since the Snowden disclosures (2013), citizens' right to privacy and state surveillance has been at the forefront of much debate.
Personal data is the hottest commodity in the market; it is the new oil, some say, more valuable than gold. It is called 'Big Data' because it is enormous. Much of it is just information about us. Every day, we leave an easy-to-follow trail of digital footprints that reveal who we are, what we like to search and buy on the net, what apps and websites we use, and how – and this goes on and on.
The Aadhaar scheme of the Government of India attracted multiple challenges in courts for reasons related to breach of privacy of citizens, to allegations of rise of a "totalitarian state", and for being an open invitation to data leakage. Aadhaar was introduced with the objectives to issue Unique Identification numbers to all residents of India that is (a) robust enough to eliminate duplicate and fake identities, and (b) can be verified and authenticated in an easy, cost-effective way. After marathon debates, where the petitioners defended a Right to Privacy which the government opposed, a 9-judge bench of the Supreme Court ruled that the Right of Privacy is a fundamental Right of Citizens.
The Constituent Assembly of India had considered but not accepted the notion of privacy being a fundamental right. B. Shiva Rao in his book "The Framing of India's Constitution: A Study" has mapped its history. K.M. Munshi had submitted draft articles on the fundamental rights and duties of citizens to the subcommittee on fundamental rights.

The main objectives of the Aadhaar scheme were to issue Unique Identification numbers to all residents of India that are (a) robust enough to eliminate duplicate and fake identities, and (b) can be verified and authenticated in an easy, cost-effective way.
-

Question 7. B.N. Rau in his note on the drafts report of the subcommittee — submitted in April 1947 expressed his reservations about the warrant clause in search and investigations which may impede police investigations allowed under the Cr.PC.
Explanation: B.N. Rau, the Constitutional Advisor, noted that the warrant clause (requiring a warrant for searches and investigations) could hinder police investigations as permitted under the Criminal Procedure Code (Cr.PC). He expressed caution about including such a clause in the draft report of the subcommittee in April 1947.
Question 8. The Supreme Court had engaged with the right to privacy until the 9-judge bench judgment of 2017 which has settled the matter. This section takes a look at the doctrinal evolution of the right as understood by the judiciary in the light of major cases. There is no mention of privacy in the Constitution of India. The Constituent Assembly of India had rejected a proposal to include a provision similar to the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution.
Explanation: The right to privacy was not explicitly mentioned in the Indian Constitution. The Constituent Assembly rejected a proposal to include a provision akin to the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures). The Supreme Court, through its 9-judge bench in 2017 (Justice K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India), finally settled that the right to privacy is a fundamental right under Article 21, evolving through judicial interpretation over time.
Question 9. The court also corrected itself in the judgment it had given invalidating the Delhi High Court order which had declared section 377 unconstitutional. "We disagree with the manner in which Suresh Kumar Koushal v. Naz Foundation (2014) was decided."
Explanation: In the 2018 judgment (Navtej Singh Johar v. Union of India), the Supreme Court overruled its earlier decision in Suresh Kumar Koushal v. Naz Foundation (2014), which had upheld the constitutional validity of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code. The court corrected itself by disagreeing with the reasoning in the 2014 judgment and declared Section 377 unconstitutional insofar as it criminalized consensual same-sex relations between adults.
