Mahantesh B Madiwalar, Prof Dr. B S Reddy

Abstract :

<p>Privacy is one of the most urgent issues associated with information technology and digital media. Communication, speech, and expression undoubtedly constitute some of the most basic liberties of individuals, and to a large extent, can be considered inalienable. In the Indian context these rights are recognized under Part III of the Indian Constitution. Here an important point should be note that Indian Constitution does not include the &lsquo;right to privacy&rsquo; as fundamental right. Its existence, therefore, as a constitutionally guaranteed fundamental right is debatable. Nevertheless, the judiciary has, no more than once occasion, opined that the right is implicit in the right under Article 21, which provides that no person shall be deprived of his life and personal liberty without a procedure established by law . India&rsquo;s e-commerce business expected to reach $50 to 70 billion by 2020. This is the witness that all the business activities shall hold by plastic cards, it creates threatens to privacy rights.</p>
