The Calcutta High Court ruled that installing and operating CCTV cameras inside a home without the consent of co-occupants is a violation of privacy. In a dispute between two brothers, the court found that five cameras were wrongly positioned to monitor one brother’s private living space. Citing the Justice KS Puttaswamy vs. Union of India case, the court emphasized that privacy is a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution and ordered the immediate restriction of these cameras.
