16 must keep their fingers firmly upon the pulse of the accepted morality of the day.” 12. The Ld. Single Judge of High Court of Karnataka in the case of Vasunathan v. The Registrar General, High Court of Karnataka8 has acknowledged the right to be forgotten, keeping in line with the trend in the Western countries where it is followed as a matter of rule. The High Court of Delhi in its recent judgment in Zulfiqar Ahman Khan vs. Quintillion Business Media Pvt. Ltd. and Ors9 has also recognized the “right to be forgotten” and 'Right to be left alone' as an integral to part of individual’s existence. The Karnataka High Court in {Name Redacted} vs. The Registrar General10 recognized “Right to be forgotten” explicitly, though in a limited sense. The petitioner’s request to remove his daughter’s name from a judgment involving claims of marriage and forgery was upheld by the Court. It held that recognizing right to be forgotten would parallel initiatives by ‘western countries’ which uphold this right when ‘sensitive’ cases concerning the ‘modesty’ or ‘reputation’ of people, especially women, were involved.
