In this era of computers nobody can deny the presence of computer and internet in their life. With the increasing penetration of computers and internet there is huge splurge in cyber crime. None can forget the arrest of Avneesh Bajaj, CEO, Baazee.com (now ebay.co.in) regarding the sale of MMS of DPS scam or the parliament attack case but these proceedings either happened in regular courts or specialized panels were setup for them. None of which is suitable and possible for all cyber crime cases.


Now after a lame attempt to solve the cyber crime cases in regular courts for more than 8 years, Indian Government has recognized the need of a separate court for cyber crimes and is looking to set up at least one cyber court in each region to handle cases related to cyber crimes like email forger, email and website hacking, identity theft, data theft etc. The first cyber court has been setup in Delhi with Justice Rajesh Tandon as the presiding officer of Cyber Regulation Appellate Tribunal.

According to Justice Rajesh Tandon, “Government should have an international conference for the enforcement of cyber laws as most of the cyber crimes originate outside the country”. This is one of the most important thing that needs to be taken care of as soon as possible. Cyber crimes are not limited to national boundaries. In most of the cyber crimes the victim and the criminal are from different regions, nations which bring lot of complexity and delay in attending such cases.

The need of Cyber crime regulatory authority can be judged from the fact that till date only three cyber crimes cased have been registered. Few days ago I was reading about identity theft of an Indian CEO in Times of India. Its only that people don’t want to register such cases due to complexity of such cases and inability of regular courts to handle them due to their slow and old fashioned way of working which cant make up with the fast internet era.

Obviously such a move will help to solve many cyber crimes or at-least bring them to light. But only time can tell if Indian cyber courts will be able to adapt themselves to rapid changing cyber domain and if they can help in reducing the cyber crime rate.
