On Right To Be Forgotten, Delhi High Court Lists Hearing In February

Observing that it would hear the matters, the court directed that the matter be listed next on February 12 and 13 at 2:30 pm.

The Delhi High Court today listed for hearing in February a batch of petitions requesting removal of online content on them by invoking the right to privacy and the right to be forgotten.

Justice Navin Chawla granted time to the parties to complete the pleadings in the matter and also allowed Internet Freedom Forum to intervene by filing written submissions.

Counsel for one of the petitioners urged the court to pass a direction to search engine Google to block the search results pertaining to certain allegations against him in a criminal case since a closure report was subsequently filed by the investigating agency.
