Study the information given below carefully and select the correct option:Statement:A citizen files a petition claiming that the right to privacy was violated by unauthorized surveillance conducted by a State agency.ConclusionsI.Right to Privacy is an intrinsic part of Article 21 of the Constitution.II.Any surveillance without a legal basis may be unconstitutional.

Answer View answer ▾

Answer: Option C — Both conclusion I and II follow

Detailed Solution

1

In K. S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India (2017), a nine-judge bench held privacy to be intrinsic to life and liberty under Article 21, so I follows.

2

Puttaswamy requires any intrusion to pass legality (a law), legitimate aim and proportionality; surveillance with no legal basis fails the first test, so II follows.

⚠ Common trap

Option A stops at I, but the word 'may' in II makes it a safe conclusion.
