Answer

(a) The components of the Right to Education are:

  1. Protection of language, script, culture of minorities (Article-29).
  2. Right to establish and administer minority educational, social and cultural institutions (Article-30).

(b) An implied Fundamental Right is one which is a part of a named Fundamental Right or partakes of the same basic nature and character as that Fundamental Right. Since RTI is implicit in the Right to Freedom of Speech and Expression (Article-19), it is an implied Fundamental Right because if one does not know the facts one cannot speak freely.

(c) On August 24, 2017, the Supreme Court confirmed that the right to privacy is a fundamental right that does not need to be separately articulated but can be derived from Articles 14, 19 and 21 of the Constitution. It is a fundamental right about all information of a person and the choice that he makes. It protects an individual from the scrutiny of the State in their home, of their movements and over their reproductive choice, choice of partners, food habits,etc.
