ABSTRACT
The conceptualisation of the “Right to Privacy” as an essential aspect of the “Right to Life” has given rise to the notion of the “Right to be Forgotten”. The Constitution of India enshrines the profound right to life within Article 211, in conjunction with Article 322. The right to be forgotten can be understood as a manifestation of the right to erase, signifying that any and all records or sources that impact human existence may be subject to erasure3. This research investigates the relationship between the “right to privacy” and the “right to be forgotten”, along with their respective extensions. This research seeks to elucidate the concept of the right to be forgotten, examining its necessity and relevance within the contemporary digital landscape.
