Indian Kanoon Challenges Removal Of Articles Citing Right To Be Forgotten

The Delhi High Court heard a challenge by Indian Kanoon against an order directing removal of articles relating to an accused under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, invoking the “right to be forgotten.” The case raises important questions on the balance between digital privacy rights, freedom of information, open justice, and public access to court records. The Court examined whether reporting on judicial proceedings involving economic offences can be lawfully erased and how privacy rights intersect with transparency in criminal justice administration.
