Delhi High Court Strikes Down Bail Condition Requiring 24×7 Google Location Sharing

The Delhi High Court has struck down a bail condition requiring an accused to share his live location 24×7 via Google with the Investigating Officer.

The condition was imposed on the accused, Harinder Bashishta, when he was granted bail on June 21, 2025.

Citing Frank Vitus v. Narcotics Control Bureau, the Court held that mandatory continuous monitoring violates an accused's fundamental right to privacy under Article 21. 

Accordingly, the 24×7-location-sharing condition was struck down.
