THE long wait is over. The draft of the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2022, was opened for public discussion on November 19, 2022. It is a much needed slep from the government's side as India has some 290 million social media users, 40 million messaging application users and about 400 million users across various search engines like Google.
The intention of the government in putting the Bill in the public domain is to perpetuate the idea that the right to privacy, as was enunciated in the KS Puttaswamy case, is an important fundamental right. The Bill tries to resolve the issues which were discussed in the Data Protection Bill, 2019. And to some extent, it has been able to resolve them.
The issues raised in the previous Data Protection Bill are:
•Rights of a deceased person: In the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019, there was no mention of the rights of a deceased or about the exercise of rights of a person in case of death. Hence, a parliamentary committee recommended that clauses regarding the rights of a deceased person be added.
DPDP 2022 has a clause which says a data principal must have the right to designate, in the way permitted by law, any other person who, in case of his death or incapacity, shall exercise his rights in accordance with the provisions of this Act.
Artificial juridical person: The 2019 Bill did not have any clause about an artificial juridical person as a data fiduciary. As a result of that, NGOs were left out of the ambit of the Bill. They could process the data in any form they wanted. This has been sorted out by the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2022, as it talks about the artificial juridical person as a data fiduciary, thereby widening the scope and ambit of the Bill. As a result, NGOs will not be able to misuse the personal data of an individual.

PIL, Difficult To Swallow?
In a recent ruling, the Bombay High Court lamented the increasing number of frivolous public interest litigations being filed in courts and echoed the sentiments of the Supreme Court that such litigations are the bane of the judicial system. Is there any way to restrict their misuse?
Till Infertility Do Us Part...
The Calcutta High Court slammed a husband for initiating divorce proceedings due to his wife's infertility and asked him to be a pillar of support for her. Courts have often taken an empathetic view in such matters
IS THAT LEGAL?
Ignorance of law is no excuse. Here are answers to frequently asked queries regarding matters that affect us on a day-to-day basis
The Big Lie
In America, The Big Lie is an idiom used by Donald Trump's opponents and the media to describe his constant gripe about election fraud. Now, it seems more suited to another Republican, Congressman George Santos (right), who has been facing growing calls to resign after he admitted fabricating parts of his resume and biography since his election in New York last year.
Flying into the Sunset
Over 50 years since the first and original jumbo jet, the Boeing 747, took to the skies and revolutionized air travel, the last of the legendary aircraft (right) was delivered to a freight charter company, bringing down the curtain on one of aviation's most successful products.
Star Crossed
Actor and producer Alec Baldwin is a Hollywood legend, having starred in a range of movies, award winning TV sitcoms, and theatre. He was most recently seen in Mission Impossible Fallout, which is an apt description of his current situation.
Walkouts in the UK
An estimated half a million workers have gone on strike, shutting down thousands of schools, public transport and border disruption. It is the biggest day of industrial action for more than a decade.
Myanmar's Misery
Two years after the military coup ousted the elected government led by Aung San Suu Kyi, the brutal crackdown by the junta on so-called \"insurgents\" and civilian protesters has reached a new level with the use of air strikes, a new and deadly tactic in the ongoing civil war.
AMERICA'S ANGST
From messy, divisive politics to a series of mass shootings, and now black officers brutally beating another black man to death as seen in bodycam videos, America's domestic convulsions are cause for serious introspection
JUSTICE LEAGUE
There are few judicial appointment procedures in the world that are completely bereft of the overarching presence of either the executive or the legislature, or both. In the end, the judge is left with all the powers vested in him/her by the constitution to uphold the rule of law, within an atmosphere of external influences
