Q. Justice Srikrishna Committee, which was seen in the news, is associated with which bill?
Answer:
Personal Data Protection Bill
Notes: A panel led by Justice Srikrishna, a retired judge of the Supreme Court, prepared a draft version of the Personal Data Protection Bill in 2018.
The draft was reviewed by the Joint Parliamentary Committee, which submitted its recommendations along with a draft Bill in November 2021. Recently, the government has withdrawn the Personal Data Protection Bill from Parliament citing that a comprehensive legal framework is being worked upon.
