Our Partner, Dr. Abhimanyu Chopra and Associate, Gauri Vikram have published an article titled, “Balancing Privacy and Public Interest: the Evolving Jurisprudence of the Right to Be Forgotten in India”. The right to be forgotten, rooted in the right to privacy, allows individuals to request the removal or de-indexing of personal data from the internet, but its application varies across jurisdictions. In India, this right, derived from K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India (2017), faces challenges as courts weigh it against principles of open justice and public interest. This article analyses the remedies like redaction and de-indexing as well as the upcoming implications of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act. The article has been published by Chambers and Partners at https://lnkd.in/dbhM4Kz2 and republished on our website at https://lnkd.in/d4uMhyg9.
