Moot Problem:
Supreme Court of India (Special Leave Petition / Art 32)Constitutional Law & Tech
Statement of Facts
The Union Government enacted the National Autonomous Facial Recognition & Predictive Policing Act, 2025. The statute empowers law enforcement to deploy automated CCTV facial matching in public spaces without prior judicial warrant. Citizens' Privacy Collective filed a Writ Petition under Article 32 challenging the constitutional validity of the Act as violative of Article 14, Article 19(1)(a), and Article 21 (Puttaswamy 9-Judge Bench standard of proportionality).
Issues for Determination
Issue 1:Whether the deployment of automated facial recognition violates the fundamental Right to Privacy under Article 21?
Issue 2:Whether the statutory scheme satisfies the four-pronged proportionality test laid down in K.S. Puttaswamy (2017)?
Issue 3:Whether lack of independent judicial oversight renders the surveillance arbitrary under Article 14?
