The bench comprising of Justice Abhay S Oka and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan in the case was hearing the matter which involves the question as to whether sharing of Google PIN with the Investigating Officer as part of bail conditions violates a person's right to privacy.
In the present case, Supreme Court was hearing an appeal against certain conditions set by the Delhi High Court in its judgment granted an interim bail to Frank Vitus, a Nigerian national accused in a drugs case.
The High Court in 2022 ordered the accused man and a co-accused to place a pin on Google Maps to ensure that their whereabouts were visible to the case's Investigation Officer.
