Right to Privacy of accused to be maintained: Madras High Court The Hon’ble Court observed that an accused who is eventually acquitted of all the charges is entitled to have his name redacted from all court orders and his fundamental right to be forgotten shall not be compromised with. The petitioner expressed his grievance on the fact that though he was acquitted, Google search of his name redirected a link to the judgement in which he was labelled as an accused. "Today, the world is literally under the grips of social media. The background of a person is assessed by everyone by entering into the Google search and collecting the information. There is no assurance that the information that is secured from the Google is authentic.
