    Sourav Agarwal
    An education consultant recommended installing CCTV cameras on a college campus to monitor student activities and improve discipline and academics. The college implemented the recommendation. A student group called the Student Privacy Forum filed a petition challenging the CCTV installation, arguing it violates student privacy rights. The college defended the CCTV use. The court must determine if the petition is valid, if students have privacy rights on campus, and if CCTV is a reasonable limitation of those rights to achieve academic and disciplinary goals.

    Dr. P George submitted his study report inter alia, recommending installation of close circuit Television cameras (CCTV) in the campus- class rooms, students room, corridors and playground to monitor the students activities inside and outside the classroom for achieving academic excellence and student discipline.

    The Governing Council of the Presidency College (a body registered under the Chitrakut Society Registered Act, 1575) considered the report in consultation with the Principal of the College and decided to accept the above recommendations for installation of CCTVS in the campus with effect from 01 Apr 2013 and connected it to the Internet.

    Miss Julia, Final year student of LL.B. attended the college as usual on 20 Apr 2012. However, on CCTV her parents found her chatting with boys. When Miss Julia returned home, she was taken to task by her parents, who are both bureaucrats. Like Miss Julia, other students who were getting monitored by their parents, formed an Association called Students Privacy Forum (SPF) and

    filed a Writ petition in the High Court, inter alia seeking a writ of Mandamus commanding the Governing Council of the Respondent Presidency College to remove the CCTVs installed in the Campus.

    The Governing Council of the Presidency College contested the plea by filing its counter statement. The High Court posted the matter for final hearing on 30 Mar 2013.

    The points Consideration are : (a) Whether, the writ petition is maintainable? (b) Whether, the students have any fundamental right to privacy in the campus? (c) If so, does not the installation of CCTVs in the campus for achieving academic excellence and students discipline constitute a reasonable restriction on the right to privacy?

    Argue for and on behalf of the SPF and O.P.
