Delhi High Court to Hear Appeals on Name-Based Search Restrictions for Legal Database
The Delhi High Court is set to hear appeals by legal database India Kanoon against a single judge's order that restricts name-based searches on its platform, citing the 'right to be forgotten.' The bench emphasized that name-based searches are essential for accessing judgments and serve the public interest. India Kanoon argued that the order hampers effective access to judicial records, while opponents stressed privacy concerns for individuals previously accused in cases. The court will consider these competing interests on September 2.
