Ratan Tata, former Tata group boss, made a strong plea in the Supreme Court on Wednesday for protecting the right to privacy of citizens of the country. The apex court was hearing Tata’s plea seeking action against those involved in the leakage of tapes containing his conversation with Niira Radia.
In the presence of his client, senior counsel Harish Salve submitted before a bench comprising of Justice G S Singhvi and Justice K S Radhakrishnan that the plea of Tata is not to prevent media from publishing his personal conversation with Radia but for protecting the right to privacy of citizens of the country. Salve, stressing the issue of right to privacy, said that the government has been lackadaisical in finding out how the tapped telephonic conversations of Niira Radia with top politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen, including his client, were leaked.
