Exp: Option a is incorrect.

Right to be Forgotten also includes the right to take down a court order. In its order in the Jorawer Singh Mundy case 2021, the Delhi HC also noted that where a court order is demanded to be taken down, the court will be required to examine the right to privacy of the petitioner on one hand, and the right to information of the public and maintenance of transparency in judicial records on the other hand.

Option b is incorrect. There is no law in India that at present recognize and provides for the right to be forgotten. However, the Personal Data Protection Bill 2019 recognised this right. Section 20 of the Bill gave an individual the right to restrict or prevent the continuing disclosure of their personal data when such data (1) has served the purpose for which it was collected, or is no longer necessary for said purpose; (2) was made with the consent of individual, which consent has since been withdrawn; or (3) was made contrary to the PDP Bill or any law in force. However, the provision made this right enforceable only on an order passed by the adjudicating officer appointed under the Bill.

Option c is incorrect. The right to be forgotten has been recognised as a statutory right in the European Union (not USA) under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and has been upheld by a number of courts in the United Kingdom, and in Europe. Option d is correct. The right to be forgotten and the right to be left alone are “inherent aspects” of the right to privacy as per a Delhi HC judgement of 2019.
