JUDICIARY'S ROLE IN THE PREVENTION AND PROSECUTION OF CYBER CRIMES AGAINST WOMEN

Abstract

The wide use of computers and internet has given rise to many legal issues. The

Indian Judiciary is facing many problems in dealing with the cybercrime threat.

Even after passing The Information Technology Act, 2000, and amendments made in

the year 2008 still the judicial system is having a tough time dealing with the evil of

cybercrime. India is poorly lacking in not just cyber laws, but also patent protection,

pharma products, shoddy packaging and shadow marketing done riding piggyback

by small firms on International or MNC products. India still does get software

business outsourced to it more due to Information Technologies firms signing up

NDA clauses and strictly abiding by them in most cases.
