Notable cases
Section 66

In February 2001, in one of the first cases, the Delhi police arrested two
men running a web-hosting company. The company had shut down a
website over non-payment of dues. The owner of the site had claimed
that he had already paid and complained to the police. The Delhi police
had charged the men for hacking under Section 66 of the IT Act and
breach of trust under Section 408 of the Indian Penal Code. The two
men had to spend 6 days in Tihar jail waiting for bail. Bhavin Turakhia,
chief executive officer of directi.com, a webhosting firm said that this
interpretation of the law would be problematic for web-hosting
companies.[10]
In February 2017, M/s Voucha Gram India Pvt.Ltd, owner of Delhi based
Ecommerce Portal www.gyftr.com made a Complaint with Hauz Khas
Police Station against some hackers from different cities accusing
them for IT Act / Theft / Cheating / Misappropriation / Criminal
Conspiracy / Criminal Breach of Trust / Cyber Crime of Hacking /
Snooping / Tampering with Computer source documents and the Web
Site and extending the threats of dire consequences to employees, as
a result four hackers were arrested by South Delhi Police for Digital
Shoplifting.[11]

Section 66A

In September 2012, a freelance cartoonist Aseem Trivedi was arrested

under the Section 66A of the IT Act, Section 2 of Prevention of Insults
 to National Honour Act, 1971 and for sedition under the Section 124 of
the Indian Penal Code.[12] His cartoons depicting widespread
corruption in India were considered offensive.[13][14]
On 12 April 2012, a Chemistry professor from Jadavpur University,
Ambikesh Mahapatra, was arrested for sharing a cartoon of West
Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and then Railway Minister
Mukul Roy.[15] The email was sent from the email address of a housing
society. Subrata Sengupta, the secretary of the housing society, was
also arrested. They were charged under Section 66A and B of the IT
Act, for defamation under Sections 500, for obscene gesture to a
woman under Section 509, and abetting a crime under Section 114 of
the Indian Penal Code.[16]
On 30 October 2012, a Puducherry businessman Ravi Srinivasan was
arrested under Section 66A. He had sent tweet accusing Karti
Chidambaram, son of then Finance Minister P. Chidambaram, of
corruption. Karti Chidambaram had complained to the police.[17]
On 19 November 2012, a 21-year-old girl was arrested from Palghar for
posting a message on Facebook criticising the shutdown in Mumbai for
the funeral of Bal Thackeray. Another 20-year-old girl was arrested for
"liking" the post. They were initially charged under Section 295A of the
Indian Penal Code (hurting religious sentiments) and Section 66A of
the IT Act. Later, Section 295A was replaced by Section 505(2)
(promoting enmity between classes).[18] A group of Shiv Sena workers
vandalised a hospital run by the uncle of one of girls.[19] On 31 January
2013, a local court dropped all charges against the girls.[20]
On 18 March 2015, a teenaged boy was arrested from Bareilly, Uttar
Pradesh, for making a post on Facebook insulting politician Azam Khan.
The post allegedly contained hate speech against a community and
was falsely attributed to Azam Khan by the boy. He was charged under
Section 66A of the IT Act, and Sections 153A (promoting enmity
between different religions), 504 (intentional insult with intent to
provoke breach of peace) and 505 (public mischief) of Indian Penal
Code. After the Section 66A was repealed on 24 March, the state
government said that they would continue the prosecution under the
remaining charges.[21][22]

Criticisms
Section 66A and restriction of free speech

From its establishment as an amendment to the original act in 2008,

Section 66A attracted controversy over its unconstitutional nature:
 Section Offence Description Penalty

a computer resource any information

extend to three years and with fine.

In December 2012, P Rajeev, a Rajya Sabha member from Kerala, tried to

pass a resolution seeking to amend the Section 66A. He was supported by
D. Bandyopadhyay, Gyan Prakash Pilania, Basavaraj Patil Sedam, Narendra
Kumar Kashyap, Rama Chandra Khuntia and Baishnab Charan Parida. P
Rajeev pointed that cartoons and editorials allowed in traditional media,
were being censored in the new media. He also said that law was barely
debated before being passed in December 2008.[23]

Rajeev Chandrasekhar suggested the 66A should only apply to person to

person communication pointing to a similar section under the Indian Post
Office Act, 1898. Shantaram Naik opposed any changes, saying that the
misuse of law was sufficient to warrant changes. Then Minister for
Communications and Information Technology Kapil Sibal defended the
existing law, saying that similar laws existed in US and UK. He also said that
a similar provision existed under Indian Post Office Act, 1898. However, P
Rajeev said that the UK dealt only with communication from person to
person.[23]

Petitions challenging constitutionality

In November 2012, IPS officer Amitabh Thakur and his wife social activist
Nutan Thakur, filed a petition in the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High
Court claiming that the Section 66A violated the freedom of speech
guaranteed in the Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution of India. They said that
the section was vague and frequently misused.[24]

Also in November 2012, a Delhi-based law student, Shreya Singhal, filed a

Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Supreme Court of India. She argued
that the Section 66A was vaguely phrased, as result it violated Article 14, 19
(1)(a) and Article 21 of the Constitution. The PIL was accepted on 29
November 2012.[25][26] A similar petition was also filed by the founder of
MouthShut.com, Faisal Farooqui,[27] and NGO Common Cause represented
by Prashant Bhushan[28] In August 2014, the Supreme Court asked the
central government to respond to petitions filed by Mouthshut.com and
later petition filed by the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI)
which claimed that the IT Act gave the government power to arbitrarily
remove user-generated content.[29]

Revocation by the Supreme Court

On 24 March 2015, the Supreme Court of India, gave the verdict that
Section 66A is unconstitutional in entirety. The court said that Section 66A
of IT Act 2000 is "arbitrarily, excessively and disproportionately invades the
right of free speech" provided under Article 19(1) of the Constitution of
India. But the Court turned down a plea to strike down sections 69A and 79
of the Act, which deal with the procedure and safeguards for blocking
certain websites. [30][31]

Strict data privacy rules

The data privacy rules introduced in the Act in 2011 have been described as
too strict by some Indian and US firms. The rules require firms to obtain
written permission from customers before collecting and using their
personal data. This has affected US firms which outsource to Indian
companies. However, some companies have welcomed the strict rules,
saying it will remove fears of outsourcing to Indian companies.[32]

Mandatory decryption

See also: Mandatory decryption

The Section 69 allows intercepting any information and ask for information
decryption. To refuse decryption is an offence. The Indian Telegraph Act,
1885 allows the government to tap phones. But, according to a 1996
Supreme Court verdict the government can tap phones only in case of a
"public emergency". But, there is no such restriction on Section 69.[5]

Future changes
On 2 April 2015, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis
revealed to the state assembly that a new law was being framed to replace
the repealed Section 66A. Fadnavis was replying to a query Shiv Sena
leader Neelam Gorhe. Gorhe had said that repeal of the law would
encourage online miscreants and asked whether the state government
would frame a law to this regard. Fadnavis said that the previous law had
resulted in no convictions, so the law would be framed such that it would be
strong and result in convictions.[33]
On 13 April 2015, it announced that the Ministry of Home Affairs would form
a committee of officials from the Intelligence Bureau, Central Bureau of
Investigation, National Investigation Agency, Delhi Police and ministry itself
to produce a new legal framework. This step was reportedly taken after
complaints from intelligence agencies that, they were no longer able to
counter online posts that involved national security matter or incite people
to commit an offence, such as online recruitment for ISIS.[34][35] Former
Minister of State with the Ministry of Information Technology, Milind Deora
has supported a new "unambiguous section to replace 66A".[36]
