Details of the Event: A workshop on Cyber-crimes and Cyber laws was organized by the School of Law to enhance the knowledge of the students in this new and upcoming field. With the advent of Internet and Computers in our daily life, the traditional criminals went hi-tech and started abusing computer resources for committing crimes like theft, fraud, forgery, defamation and other wide range of offences. In India, the laws contained in Indian Penal Code 1860 were too archaic to deal with this new species of crimes and the proliferating e-commerce business added to the problems of law makers. In year 2000, Information Technology Act came into force which covered laws related to Electronic records and Digital signature. This Act not only defined cyber-crimes and prescribed penalties for them but also amended various sections of the Indian Penal Code 1860, the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, The Banker’s book evidence Act, 1891 and RBI Act 1934 so that they are in tandem with modern advancements in Criminal law. The workshop discussed this very journey of the Cyber Laws in India and also it dealt with various modern challenges posed to the current cyber laws in India.
