INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LAW IN INDIA AND SMART COURTS: Regulation, Liability, Commerce & Protections Under the IT Act

Abstract This article analyzes the constitutional, statutory, and policy dimensions of information technology law in India, with a specific focus on the Information Technology Act, 2000 (as amended). It examines the Act’s scope and objectives, criminal and security provisions, commercial and e-commerce regulation, intermediary-liability and internet governance, intellectual property challenges in the digital environment, adjudication of domain-name disputes, and emerging concerns like semiconductor technology protection. By situating the IT Act within the larger framework of digital governance and free speech jurisprudence, this article highlights ongoing legal challenges and the need for evolving legal frameworks suited to 21st-century technologies based on the Indian approach of regulation. This paper embarks on the point that though the Original IT Act of 2000 is having lacuna in not dealing with many forms of cyber crimes yet , the amendments incorporated to plug them through the IT (Amendment) Act 2008 which also broadened its scope by bringing under its ambit various forms of cyber-crimes.
Keywords Information Technology Act; cybercrime; e-commerce; intermediary liability; intellectual property; domain name disputes; semiconductor protection; digital governance; India.
