Delhi High Court asks Centre, Google about 'right to be forgotten'

Firstpost  

Does right to privacy include right to delink from the Internet the irrelevant information, the Delhi High Court has asked the Centre and Google. Justice Manmohan sought the responses of the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Google Inc., Google India Pvt Ltd and IKanoon Software Development Pvt Ltd on a plea of an NRI seeking that he be “delinked” from information regarding a criminal case involving his wife in which he was not a party. The plea has also said, “petitioner tried to contact Respondent 4 and made a request for taking down the aforesaid judgment through letter dated January 25, 2016 as petitioner wanted this order to be expunged, from website of Respondent 4.” It also said that the petitioner had contacted Respondent 2 and 3 and sent an email for removing the concerned Uniform Resource Locator from the search result. According to the petition, it was requested in the email that “material detrimental to the petitioner must not be the first hit in the search result as he has no role in the aforesaid case and because it was giving a bad name to the Petitioner which will further jeopardize his prospective employment opportunities, being an NRI living in Dubai employed with prestigious organisation.” “This issue pertaining to the criminal case in which his name has appeared had been fully resolved and therefore that reference to his name in the aforesaid criminal case is now entirely irrelevant,” the petition has contended adding that not removing the same “violates his right to privacy” and also “creates a bad social image” about him.
