CYBER SECURITY LAWS AND ROLE OF JUDICIARY IN PROTECTING PRIVACY RIGHTS IN INDIA

Volume IV Issue I /

CYBER SECURITY LAWS AND ROLE OF JUDICIARY IN PROTECTING PRIVACY RIGHTS IN INDIA Arpit Tripathi, LLM student at DSNLU Visakhapatnam (India) Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2026.v04.15 The rapid digitisation of India’s socio-economic framework has intensified concerns regarding cybersecurity and the protection of privacy rights. Recognised as a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution, the right to privacy attained definitive constitutional status through the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Justice K.S. Puttaswamy (Retd.) v. Union of India (2017). This judgment not only affirmed privacy as intrinsic to human dignity and personal liberty but also established the principles of legality, necessity, and proportionality to assess state intrusion. India’s cybersecurity regime is primarily governed by the Information Technology Act, 2000, and strengthened by the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. While the IT Act addresses cyber offences such as hacking, identity theft, and unauthorised access, the DPDP Act introduces a structured framework regulating data collection, processing, storage, and consent-based governance. Together, these statutes seek to ensure accountability of data fiduciaries and enhance digital security. The judiciary continues to play a pivotal role in balancing individual privacy with competing state interests, including national security and public order. Through constitutional interpretation and judicial review, courts have imposed procedural safeguards on surveillance mechanisms and reinforced limitations on arbitrary state action. This paper critically examines the evolving interplay between legislative measures and judicial oversight in shaping India’s digital privacy landscape, highlighting the need for robust enforcement and rights-oriented governance in the era of expanding digital infrastructure.

Volume III Issue IV /

STRATEGIC POLICY FRAMEWORK FOR MANAGING HYBRID WORK FORCE: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Baibhab Datta, Student of Semester Seven, Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India (ICFAI), Hyderabad (TELENGANA), India Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2025.v03.223 The post-pandemic evolution of work structure has given rapid evolution of the modern workplace, accelerated by digital transformation and the post-pandemic paradigm shift, which has given rise to the hybrid workforce, combining remote and in-office work arrangements to create flexible operational frameworks. The COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst, compelling organisations to adopt flexible models that surpass traditional office boundaries. This research examines the strategic policy framework required for managing a hybrid workforce with a focus on identifying critical challenges, including communication barriers across distributed teams, technological infrastructure inadequacies, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities in distributed work environments, compliance complexities with evolving labour laws and data protection regulations, such as the Indian Labour Codes and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The paper also examines how strategic human resources policies, reinforced by legal compliance and digital governance, can mitigate these challenges while promoting inclusivity and productivity. Different types of work models show HR and leaders how to implement flexible arrangements that not only enhance employee engagement and satisfaction but also contribute to overall business performance, including cost optimisation, access to a diverse talent pool, improved employee satisfaction, and enhanced sustainability through reduced infrastructure dependency. This research aims to develop a practical and inclusive framework that combines strategic and legal approaches to manage hybrid workforces more effectively, focusing on overcoming regulatory, managerial and technological challenges.

UNMASKING THE DIGITAL PHANTOM: CHALLENGES IN PROSECUTING DIGITAL CRIMES Deepti, Student at M.E.R.I. Professional and Law institute. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT The evolution of technology has transformed the landscape of crime; each and every single day, a new criminal is born in the vast space of cyberworld. This research paper includes the study of challenges which are faced in applying and regulating law worldwide in prosecuting cybercrimes. Through a deep analysis of case laws, studies, frameworks, and literature, the research paper revolves around the different obstacles faced in tracing and prosecuting digital perpetrators. The main challenges include difficulties related to territorial jurisdiction because cyberspace has no geographical or territorial boundaries. Moreover, crucial evidence for prosecuting cybercrime can be gathered through the use of various and advanced encryption technologies, for example: digital forensic investigation. The fast growth of cybercrimes results in increasing challenges, requiring the law to be updated and advanced with time to constantly adapt to new tactics used by cybercriminals. To overcome these challenges, a righteous and advanced approach is needed that also encompasses technological innovation and proper legislative frameworks. To face digital crimes, coordination between law enforcement agencies of different nations is required, along with specialized training to enhance the capabilities of officials in investigating and prosecuting offenses in the digital world. By analyzing these challenges and forming proper solutions to the problems, this research concludes that ongoing efforts must be made to safeguard individuals and the society from the pernicious threat of criminal activities emerging in cyberspace.
