New Delhi, May 13 (PTI): A five-judge constitution bench of the Supreme Court will from Monday start examining the privacy policy of WhatsApp, which has come under challenge on the ground that it had allegedly infringed on fundamental rights.

The matter will be heard by a bench comprising Justices Dipak Misra, A.K. Sikri, Amitava Roy, A.M. Khanwilkar and M.M. Shantanagoudar.

The Centre on April 27 had told the bench that a "regulatory regime" for data protection was in the offing as an individual's freedom of choice needs to be protected. The Centre's submission had come after the constitution bench had asked it to clarify its stand.
