Cyber Law: Series 2: Issue 11 - CCTV Surveillance without consent in a dwelling house amounts to violation of Right to Privacy

The Appellant (Shuvendra Mullick) and Respondents (Indranil Mullick and Ors.) are brothers and co-trustees of the “Mullick Bhaban”, a double-storied house. In 2022, the respondent installed nine CCTV cameras with motion detection in and around the property, including five inside the portion allocated to the appellant, without his consent. These cameras were allegedly focused on the door, windows, and interior of the appellant's share, monitoring his day-to-day activities, and the appellant was even denied access to the camera recordings and management. This act of respondent was detrimental to the appellant’s right to privacy.
