MOOT COURT PROBLEM*

Unite Lost Indians … Petitioner
v.
Union of India … Respondent
v.
Right to Privacy … Intervener

1. The Government of India established a Unique Identity Authority (UID) for the collection
of the bio-metric data of people; in response to the scheme, a large number people
voluntarily enrolled and submitted their bio-metric data.

2. A reputed NGO called “Unite Lost Indians” filed a PIL in the High Court, inter alia, seeking
directions that the Government of India should issue instructions to the UID to collect the
blood samples of those who propose to enrol or those who have already enrolled and
have their DNA profiles published on its website, with a search engine. According to the
NGO, such information is vital and essential to unite thousands of lost children living in
an orphanage or with adoptive families waiting to be united with their real parents, which
is their fundamental right as protected in Article 21 of the Constitution.

3. However, another NGO, lead by Ms. Priya Khan – a known name in Bollywood,

website as prayed in the PIL is contrary to the right to privacy guaranteed to the people
under Art.21 of the Constitution. Unearthing the secrets of life which are buried deep is
like inviting “a bull into a china shop”, said the intervening NGO. The Government of
India, in its reply, did not take any sides on the contentious issues arising from the
competing rights claimed by the NGOs under Art 21 of the Constitution, but agreed to
abide by the directions of the Court, if any, to be issued.

4. The High Court posted the PIL for final hearing on ‘X’ September 2012.

5. The mooters are required to prepare brief for the Petitioner “Unite Lost Indians” and also
the Intervener “Right to Privacy”.
