The defendants contended that the suit, insofar as it invoked the right to be forgotten, was barred by limitation; the Court held that the plaint sought distinct reliefs for privacy, dignity and erasure of stigmatizing content apart from damages for defamation, and the suit was filed soon after the plaintiff's exoneration, hence it could not be rejected at the threshold under Article 75 of the Limitation Act, so the limitation objection failed.
