Explanation:

- The Right to Privacy includes the personal autonomy of an individual and includes the right to be left alone.
Second statement is incorrect. Privacy is not absolute and cannot prevent the State from making laws imposing reasonable restrictions on citizens as per the Supreme Court. It is subject to the same restrictions as other rights.
Also the ruling will impact several other aspects like section 377 of IPC as sexual preferences of an individual are a part of his/her right to privacy.
