The State while formulating a policy for its employees has to give due consideration to the importance of protecting family life as an element of the dignity of the person and a postulate of privacy, the Supreme Court on Thursday said.
It said that the State’s interference in the rights of privacy, dignity, and family life of persons must be proportional.
A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and Vikram Nath affirmed a Kerala High Court order that upheld the validity of a circular withdrawing the Inter-Commissionerate Transfers (ICT) saying that the Central Excise and Customs Commissionerates Inspector (Central Excise, Preventive Officer and Examiner) Group ‘B’ Posts Recruitment Rules of 2016 do not contain any such provision.
