Authorities in Ahmedabad are surveilling me without cause; is my right to privacy violated?

The right to privacy is a fundamental right under Article 21, affirmed by the Supreme Court in K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India (2017). Surveillance without a valid law and a proportionate, legitimate aim violates the tests of legality, necessity and proportionality laid down in Puttaswamy. File a writ petition under Article 32 in the Supreme Court or Article 226 in the Gujarat High Court challenging the surveillance and seeking its quashing. The court will examine whether the surveillance was authorised by a valid statute and whether the safeguards against misuse were observed. Gujarat Rent Control Act 1999 on telephone tapping or police surveillance must comply with the Puttaswamy standards, failing which it is unconstitutional. Preserve the evidence of surveillance such as call recordings, RTI replies and any admission by officials, and the court can award compensation if the surveillance was without legal sanction.
