The state government on Thursday submitted to Gujarat High Court that the 'Right to Privacy' cannot be allowed to be placed at a higher pedestal that under its guise people can start breaking the laws of the land. The submission came in response to multiple petitions demanding freedom to consume alcohol at private places citing that the Gujarat Prohibition Act is in contravention of Right to Privacy.
The state government on Thursday submitted a detailed affidavit of 121 pages opposing the petitions. It has pointed out that Right to Privacy in any manner does not imply that others are inconvenienced.
