 Data mining and the Right to Privacy Particularly the surveillance of Constitutional Authorities and an active Supreme Court of India Judge throughout that time make the most recent claims of spying and phone tapping against the State particularly serious and dangerous in character. The way the accusations were presented, the cases the judge had on the docket, and the subsequent rulings in the Government's favour raise serious concerns about the integrity of the judiciary's lofty ideals of independence and impartiality. The last and most important institution for the general populace, and one that can be compared to God, is the judiciary. The public's confidence in the independence of our legal system has been undermined, however, by the spying surveillance of the judiciary and the contested results of the petitions delivered in the government's favour.
