Thiruvananthapuram, Monday 09 Feb 2009: Justice V.S. Sirpurkar of the Supreme Court has emphasised the need to create special courts to tackle cases relating to e-commerce and cyber crime.
He was inaugurating a national seminar on ‘cyber crimes, cyber laws and cyber security’ organised by the Centre for Development of Imaging Technology (C-DIT) in the city on Sunday.
“We need courts manned by trained judges to dispose of the cases in a time-bound manner,” said Mr. Sirpurkar. The Supreme Court Justice said that the Information Technology Act should be made powerful enough to dissuade potential criminals. Mr. Sirpurkar sought to play down any distinction in the nature of crimes.
