Elections are getting closer but still there are no measures taken for making amendments in IT Act, 2000. As usual political leaders are busy in safeguarding their interests. Unless they get their demands they won’t act efficiently for the immediate amendments in Indian IT laws. At the world’s centre stage, Indian cyber law is distinguished as weaker and lacking in stringent security portfolios. Today the nation has become the haven for cyber crimes. This freedom is obviously granted by the faded and rotten Indian Information Technology Act, 2000.
After a long period of 8 years, amendments were allowed by the government of India to modify the defaults in IT Act, 2000. To a great delight the IT Amendment Act, 2008 is successfully passed by the Parliament of India in the month of December, 2008 and it is even flagged off by the president of India on 5th February, 2009. However, the Bill needs further notification by the government and then only it will become effective. Mr. Praveen Dalal, India’s well-known techno-legal expert expresses his resentment over the recommended Bill, 2008 by stating that the Bill has to be refined with more amendments till it gets the actual power. On the other hand, the judges of the Supreme Court of India have pointed out the weaker face of the present cyber law of India.
