Indian Kanoon Challenges Delhi High Court Order on ‘Right to Be Forgotten’ After PMLA Exoneration

Indian Kanoon has approached the Delhi High Court challenging a trial court order directing removal of articles and URLs relating to a money laundering accused who was later exonerated.

The trial court had invoked the “right to be forgotten”, observing that continued online availability of case records caused harm to dignity despite the acquittal.

The High Court issued notice on the plea but declined to stay the trial court’s order, noting that broader questions on the right to be forgotten are already pending before the Supreme Court.

The matter has been listed for further hearing on April 15, 2026.
