Abstract

Abuses are not new in town. It has been there in prevailment since time immemorial, right from Paleolithic to Neolithic age. In recent years, it has taken various tints and has gone to next level by means of science and technology. Any inhumane treatment done with the intention of embarrassing, shamming or intimidating another individual comes under the domain of bullying, harassment and abuses. When the same is done with a computer and a network system it is coined as cyberbullying. This column brings to light the instances that would suitably project the inhumanity in the cyber world. The authors define the term – cyberbullying and elucidate its meaning along with its types. This paper also deals with the current laws in the arena and briefly demonstrates foreign laws in the same subject for a clear comparison. ‘Being perfect' is the only ever statement that is actually perfect. So, the imperfectness in the system is exhibited only to explore rules and regulations further in relation to cybercrimes. The constitutional validity of section 66A, 69A and 79 rules of the information technology act 2008 are upheld once again after the Supreme Court's landmark judgment. The submission of this paper is either to bring amendment in the struck down section or to enact a law and bring equivocal stringency in the standard of Indian cyber law.
