Pranesh says that there are a few occasional instances, like when Yahoo India in 2011 refused to provide email ids of certain persons to the Controller of Certifying Authorities; the request


in that case, however, was made under Section 28 of the Information Technology Act, he says. “When it comes to CrPC Sections 91 and 92, there isn’t any good case law or precedent on what


kind of information the police or magistrates may or may not get based on these sections. Given that there is no overarching privacy law in India, and banking laws may not apply since


Razorpay isn’t a bank, it would have been useful for a company like Razorpay in such an instance to push back and take this to court and establish a precedent for privacy rights under CrPC


Sections 91 and 92,” Pranesh says. “Given the precedent in the Puttaswamy judgment which lays down exceptions to privacy like necessity and proportionality, Razorpay could have argued under


Puttaswamy as to whether the request made by the police was legitimate or not," he adds.
