Cybercrime And the Indian Legal System: A Critical Evaluation

Author(s) Deepti Lata, Dr. Raj Vardhan
Country India
Abstract The increasing integration of digital technology into all spheres of human activity has given rise to a parallel surge in cybercrime, posing significant challenges to legal systems around the world. In the Indian context, cybercrimes such as hacking, identity theft, data breaches, online harassment, and cyberterrorism have grown rapidly alongside the expansion of the country’s digital infrastructure. This study critically evaluates the Indian legal system's response to cybercrime, focusing primarily on the effectiveness of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and its subsequent amendments, as well as related provisions in the Indian Penal Code. The research explores the extent to which the existing legal framework addresses emerging forms of cyber offenses and assesses the role of law enforcement agencies, the judiciary, and public awareness in enforcing these laws. Through an examination of landmark case laws, statutory analysis, and scholarly commentary, the study identifies key shortcomings such as jurisdictional issues, lack of technical expertise, inadequate cyber courts, and procedural delays in the investigation and prosecution of cybercrimes. The study also highlights the importance of international cooperation and legal harmonization in addressing cross-border cyber offenses. In conclusion, the research underscores the need for a dynamic and proactive legal ecosystem that not only ensures justice and protection for cybercrime victims but also strengthens digital trust and cybersecurity governance in India.
