From the indications that emanate from the Ministry of
Information and Technology, as well as the industry circles, it appears that a
strong move to introduce a legislation for "Electronic Data Protection" is on
the cards. Perhaps this could be one of the significant legislative measures
that would affect the Indian Cyber Space in 2005. It is time for us to debate
What should be the objectives of such a legislation?, What kind of "Data" needs
to be protected?, How should the data be protected?, What kind of punishments
should be envisaged? etc.
Praveen Dalal, the Delhi based Advocate explores the
necessity and mode of protection of the information, details and data of
individuals and organisations under the laws of India. This will be followed by
other articles in the series.
