ABSTRACT 

This research examines the intricate legal landscape surrounding the declaration of assets, uncovering a notable ambiguity in judicial decisions where conflicts arise between the fundamental rights of privacy and information. As societies grapple with the imperative to promote transparency through the right to information, a complex interplay emerges when juxtaposed against the individual's right to privacy. The study critically examines jurisprudential developments, shedding light on instances where the courts face challenges in striking a delicate balance between these conflicting rights. Through a comprehensive analysis of legal precedents, statutes, and evolving societal norms, this research aims to provide an insight into the potential frameworks for resolving the existing ambiguity in judicial decisions. By addressing these complexities, the study contributes to the ongoing discourse on the harmonization of rights in the context of asset declaration, aiming to facilitate a nuanced and just approach in legal adjudication.
