Need to remove Websites from Google Search


05-Sep-2026 (In Cyber Crime Law)
I had 2 cases on me in earlier 2013 and 2015, and police has spread all the information to press media, and they have posted the same, since then, they are lying on google search, in first pages, later in 2017 all the cases were aquitted, but still the search engines are showing me up like criminal. I saw Plenty of judgments araising for filing Writ Petitions, if the case got aquitted, the indexing from google can be removed. So i'm seeking for someone who can really help me in this regards.

You can file a Writ Petition (Mandamus) under Article 226 before the concerned High Court seeking direction to Google (and news portals) to de-index / remove your name from search results. Simultaneously, we can file a request for delisting under Google's Right to be Forgotten form with your certified copy of Acquittal Order. Please keep your acquittal order of 2017, FIR details and the specific URLs which are appearing on Google ready for review. This is a very much maintainable case and relief is usually granted.

The first step would be to examine the FIRs, charge sheets, acquittal orders, and the URLs of the relevant news reports. Based on these documents, appropriate relief may be sought against the concerned authorities and search engine, including de-indexing or removal of inaccurate and prejudicial content, subject to the applicable legal principles. A proper assessment is necessary before advising on the most effective course of action.

The only way this can be done is that a Writ Petition asking the right to be forgotten has to be filed before Delhi High Court. Appropriate relief is to be sought to take down the reports and for further restraining reportage of the same without first seeking the permission of the Court.

Hon’ble High Court of Delhi has recently in LAKSH VIR SINGH YADAV v. UNION OF INDIA & ORS ruled out right to be forgotten and has laid down framework for the same. Since you are acquitted and want your name to be removed. It can easily be done just make a grievance to the concerned site and in your grievance include this High Court Judgement. Most probably it will be done like this and if the problem still persist then we have to go to court for removing of the same
