The Centre today conceded in the Supreme Court that right to privacy may be considered as a fundamental right under the Constitution, but many facets relating to it cannot be put under the fundamental rights category.<br/><br/>Attorney General K K Venugopal submitted before a nine-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice J S Khehar that privacy could be a fundamental right, but it could not be absolute. <br/><br/>The Centre's assertion came when the bench posed a pointed query to the attorney general as to what was the stand of the government on the question whether right to privacy was a fundamental right or not.<br/><br/>The contentious issue as to whether right to privacy was a fundamental right or not was referred to a larger bench<br/>in 2015 after the Centre had emphasized the issue of two judgements delivered in 1950 and 1962 by the apex court that<br/>had held it was not a fundamental right.
