Commentary on Informantion Technology Act

Commentary on the Information Technology Act is a practice-oriented, clause-by-clause guide to India’s principal cyber-law statute and its implementing rules. The volume reproduces each statutory provision and pairs it with accessible explanation, legislative intent, leading case-law headnotes and enforcement guidance — including the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence on Section 66A and other pivotal decisions. Practical chapters cover cyber-offences (hacking, data theft, online fraud), intermediary liability and the Intermediary Guidelines, digital evidence preservation and admissibility, CERT-In incident reporting and response, adjudication/penalty regimes and liability of service providers. The commentary also surveys major IT Rules updates and policy changes introduced by MeitY and state actors, and explains compliance steps for intermediaries, platforms and enterprises. Appendices include model FIRs, takedown & grievance notices, checklists for data-breach response, and a curated list of authoritative cases and notifications. Designed for courtroom use and boardroom compliance, the book converts complex regulatory material into immediately usable tools for advocates, corporate counsel, investigators and policymakers.
