Today (29th April): The Supreme Court observed that requiring individuals to share their Google pin location as a condition for bail violates their fundamental rights under Article 21, which guarantees the right to privacy. The Court emphasized that while there have been instances where such conditions were imposed, they cannot be a prerequisite for bail.
The Supreme Court of India has instructed Google India to clarify the privacy implications of requiring a Nigerian national to mark a PIN on Google Maps as a bail condition in a drug-related case. This comes after the Court expressed concerns about potential privacy infringement and directed the release of the accused on interim bail with modified conditions.
