PTI reports:

Leaking information on the health of an individual may earn a term in prison for six months and also a fine up to Rs one lakh.

According to the new Privacy Bill, 2011, which is slated to be tabled in Parliament during the forthcoming session, any health information of any citizen of India collected with his consent shall be kept by the person till the time the individual wants and later it should be returned or destroyed.

Under the provision in the draft Bill that has 94 sections, no person or officer of the government shall collect health information in respect of an individual so as to reveal in public his health information thus adversely affecting his right to privacy.

“Whosoever discloses in public, the health information in respect of any citizen of India in contravention of the provisions of this Act, shall be punishable for such offence with imprisonment for a term which may extend to six months or with a fine which may extend to Rs one lakh, or with both,” the Bill said under its Health Information Privacy.
