Abstract

As we all know that this is the era where most of the things are done usually over the internet from online dealing to online transactions. Since the web is considered a worldwide stage, anyone can access the resources of the internet from anywhere. The internet technology has been used by a few people for criminal activities like unauthorised access to the other’s network, etc. These criminal activities or offences/crimes related to the internet are cyber crimes. In this paper we focus on types of cyber crime and covers judgement in which the court held that it is an offence under various sections. We can define cyber law as a part of the legal system that deals with internet cyberspace and legal issues. Generally, it is alluded to as the law as the web. It covers a broad area encompassing many topics.
