India is embarking on a major review of the Information Technology Act which was passed with effect from October 17, 2000. Recent frauds of the Delhi MMS case and Gurgaon BPO Cases have increased the demand from the media for "Stricter IT Laws". In this scenario, Naavi.org is presenting a series of suggestions for the consideration of the MCIT while addressing the amendments and request comments from the public so that the Ministry will have the benefit of an opportunity to consider the public views in this regard.

Suggestion V: Cyber Appellate Tribunal

 The Act provides for fast dispensation of justice through the system of adjudication which is presently applicable only for civil disputes.

 It is recommended that “Offences under Chapter XI of the Act” are brought under the purview of the Cyber Appellate Tribunal with a provision for appeal to an appropriate Court in the general hierarchy.

 It is also suggested that the Cyber Appellate Tribunal is activated at the earliest.
