The front/entrance door of my house 2. Verandah in the southern side of my house 3. Verandah in the northern side of my house. I have informed him about my discomfort with this but he was rude and paid no heed I also wrote him a letter(not a legal notice) requesting him to remove those cameras else i will take legal action. kindly guide me as it pains me that someone can do surveillance of the movements of me and my family.

Dear client,
Yes if his cameras are facing the your area then you can very well take legal action against him and he can't do the same without your permission. It's a serious issue these days it's totally against your rights. You should object against the same. For your further query you can contact me.

Right to Privacy is a fundamental right and an intrinsic part of Article 21 that protects life and liberty of the citizens and as a part of the freedoms guaranteed by Part III of the Constitution. In June 2011, India passed a new privacy package that included various new rules that apply to companies and consumers. A key aspect of the new rules requires that any organization that processes personal information must obtain written consent from the data subjects before undertaking certain activities. Application of the rule is still uncertain.
