Supreme Court to Decide: Can Govt Hide Corruption Under 'Privacy'?
Event Summary
India's Supreme Court has declared privacy a fundamental right under the Constitution, while separately banning a government-published school textbook for including content on judicial corruption. The Court initiated legal action against education officials, calling the textbook a calculated attack on judicial dignity.
Judiciary & Government
"The Court and government view the textbook content as a deliberate attack requiring action to protect judicial integrity and curriculum integrity."
Legal Critics & Professionals
"Senior lawyers and some express concern over the ban's selectivity and potential suppression of legitimate discussion on corruption."
