Delhi HC questions search curbs on Indian Kanoon

The Delhi High Court is hearing Indian Kanoon's appeals against a ruling that recognized a 'right to be forgotten' and ordered deindexing in 34 of 38 cases. Justice H. C. Shankar said blocking name searches deprives lawyers from regional cities of access to court decisions and their right to livelihood.

• Court considers 8 appeals by Indian Kanoon, 5 at current hearing
• June 1 ruling ordered deindexing in 34 of 38 petitions
• Judge: blocking name search effectively blocks access to judgment
• Next hearing scheduled for September 21
