“Privacy is intrinsic to the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution and will be included in schedule III of the Constitution.

The right to privacy will now find a place under schedule III of the Constitution along with other fundamental rights: right to equality before law, right to various freedoms such as speech and expression/to move freely, right against exploitation, right to freedom of religion, cultural and educational rights and right to constitutional remedies.

The court also overruled earlier judgments of M.P Sharma vs Satish Chandra and Kharak Singh vs State of Uttar Pradesh that had held privacy to not be a fundamental right.
