On June 2, 2026, published accounts indicated that published accounts tied the story to wider national and sector coverage. The Delhi High Court recognised the right to be forgotten in a May 29, 2026 judgment made public in early June.
The same reports noted that justice Sachin Datta directed Google and Indian Kanoon to de-index name-based searches for specified acquitted or discharged petitioners. The 144-page ruling held informational privacy under Article 21 limits perpetual name-based retrieval of old case records.
Further context from the day indicated original judgments remain accessible by case number and citation; de-indexing affects name searches only.
Officials said further steps would follow as reviews continue.
