Abstract
One such right that has emerged as a result of expanding the scope of Article 21 is the right to privacy. Private life is not specifically protected by the constitution as a right. Yet, the Supreme Court has taken such a right from Article 21 and several other constitutional clauses when they are interpreted in conjunction with the Directive Principles of State Policy. In this research paper researcher has discussed about the Right to Privacy, a new aspect of Article 21, as well as the various difficulties new dimensions of it. For the purpose of the study, secondary data have been heavily studied. The right to privacy has been guaranteed to us by great judges who have separated it from other rights. Nowadays, this right needs to be exercised effectively. Even after passing away, a person's right to privacy still exists. Invasions of privacy must always be justified by necessity, need, and proportionality. The privacy of information is one part of fundamental right. State actors and non-state actors both pose risks to this. It's interesting to note that there is no general right to privacy recognized by common law, and the Indian Parliament has so far been hesitant to enact any law for it but many of the so-called Fundamental Rights protect it.
