New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday (June 2) heard Google’s petition challenging an earlier decision of a single bench that had directed the tech giant to immediately remove a woman’s private image from the search engine.
The woman had alleged that the photographs are being shown on the pornographic website on Google without his permission. She had posted her personal photographs on Facebook and Instagram.
Google had filed a petition to turn the decision in its favour. The double bench of the High Court heard the matter for the first time on June 2, and the next date of hearing is July 27.
