The petitioner also submitted that ‘the right to be forgotten’ is accepted in many foreign countries.
“Right of a rape victim to be anonymous or not to have personal sensitive information indicating that she is a rape
victim should not be published overrides the right to information of the general public or right to publish and right to
information,” she said.
The petitioner also sought a direction commanding the respondents to compensate her for the disrepute, mental agony,
distress, pain and suffering and loss of earnings caused to her by the disclosure of her identity and personal
information as a rape victim by the publication of the documents.
Speaking to Livelaw, Sushant Sinha, founder of Indian Kanoon, said he would obey the interim order. But, he clari ed
that he had not received any orders from court yet.
