Union of India where the Right of Privacy has been held to be a Fundamental Right under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution it can be held that even a person, who is accused of committing an offense and who is subsequently acquitted from committing that offense will have right to get his name redacted from the order passed by the Court to protect his Right of Privacy."
