Can Darjeeling police use facial recognition cameras under West Bengal law?

Use of facial recognition cameras by Darjeeling police is subject to the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997 and the privacy principles established by the Supreme Court. The Calcutta High Court has noted that mass surveillance using facial recognition requires safeguards against arbitrary use in Darjeeling. The West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997 may require transparency about deployment and purpose limitation for facial recognition in Darjeeling. The Calcutta High Court has emphasized that data collected through facial recognition in Darjeeling must be deleted within a reasonable period. Citizens can seek information about facial recognition deployments through RTI in Darjeeling. The West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997 provides for audit and oversight of surveillance technology used by Darjeeling police. Misuse of facial recognition data can be challenged before the Calcutta High Court.
