The Delhi High Court, in a 144-page judgment by Justice Sachin Datta, addressed the 'right to be forgotten' amid the digital permanence of court records. The ruling allows courts to intervene when online information causes disproportionate harm to privacy and dignity, even if cases ended in acquittal. The judgment balances this right against open justice principles, noting that updating records alone may not prevent incomplete or misleading information from persisting online, highlighting challenges in reconciling privacy with public access to legal history.
