Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

The question asks to identify the not correct statement regarding the Right to Privacy.

  • Statement 1 is correct: The Constitution of India does not explicitly mention 'privacy'. It is an implied right derived primarily from Article 21 (Right to Life and Personal Liberty).
  • Statement 2 is correct: In the landmark Justice K.S. Puttaswamy (Retd.) v. Union of India (2017) case, a nine-judge bench of the Supreme Court unanimously declared privacy a Fundamental Right under Part III of the Constitution.
  • Statement 3 is incorrect: The Right to Privacy is not absolute. The Supreme Court held that it can be restricted for legitimate state interests, including national security, prevention of crime, and social welfare, provided the restriction passes the triple test of legality, necessity (legitimate aim), and proportionality.

Since only statement 3 is incorrect, the correct option is C.
