Zorawar Singh Mundy Vs. Union of India and Ors; W.P.(C) 3918 of 2021(PDF)


Zorawar Singh Mundy vs. Union of India and Ors (W.P.(C) 3918 of 2021) is a significant case concerning the "Right to be Forgotten" in India. The petitioner, Zorawar Singh Mundy, sought the removal of a criminal judgment against him from online platforms like Google, Indian Kanoon, and vLex.in. He argued that the judgment, despite his acquittal, continued to appear in search results, negatively impacting his reputation and career prospects.

The Delhi High Court recognized the evolving nature of the "Right to be Forgotten" in India and its potential conflict with the public's right to information. The court granted interim relief, directing the removal of the judgment from search results, while acknowledging the need for a balanced approach that respects both privacy and transparency. This case highlights the challenges and complexities in balancing individual privacy rights with the public's right to access information in the digital age.
