Today, On 13th November, the Madras High Court ordered Tamil Nadu authorities to return the Bharat Mata statue seized from the BJP office, clarifying that prior approval is only necessary for public property, not private spaces. The Court condemned the authorities’ actions as unconstitutional and emphasized the importance of national unity and personal expression in private domains.
The Madras High Court’s recent ruling reinforces the ‘Right to be Forgotten,’ acknowledging the importance of privacy and individuals’ ability to move on from past legal issues. This sets a precedent for similar cases, balancing public information and personal privacy in the digital age. The decision emphasizes the evolving nature of privacy rights and the impact of digital records on individuals’ lives.
