Question Description
Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.Recently, India was placed second (next to China) in terms of the number of internet users. However, unlike the geographical limits of countries, the internet is limitless, with no demarcated territory. This gives rise to various kinds of jurisdictional issues with respect to the criminal investigation. One such issue arises when the perpetrator is sitting in some other country, and the crime is committed within the territory of India (e.g. A person sitting in Latin America commits OTP fraud via internet in the territory of India). Now, upon receipt of the complaint, the police need to gather evidence to prove the offense so that the perpetrator could be brought to justice. But what happens when the data is stored at a remote server outside the territory of India? Is the investigating agency powerful enough to access such information in order to gather evidence against the perpetrator?On one hand, the power of police in India is limited to the territory of India, as per Section 1(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and on the other hand the internet has no territorial limitation. The internet is available worldwide having servers everywhere in the world. Even though, the Information Technology Act provides extraterritorial applicability for cybercrimes, but problem arises when such application is in conflict with privacy laws of other countries. Now, when a cybercrime is committed by someone residing outside India, the investigation of police is faced by a lot of obstruction, if the data of the perpetrator or of the victim is stored on a server in a country with strong privacy laws. Take, for example, a person (outside India) who uses Facebook to push someone (in India) into suicide, ultimately committing abatement of suicide (penal offense under the Indian Penal Code). The police will ask Facebook to provide access to the personal data of the victim. Since the personal data is stored in the cloud, the location of the server might be in such a country where the privacy laws are so strong that they dont allow any discloser of information. Ultimately, the police will be stuck with no evidence in hand while the perpetrator remains scot-free.Now, a way to remove such an obstruction is to store the data of Indian citizens within the territory of India so that such crimes can be investigated properly.[Extracted, with edits and revisions from Data localisation: a way to catch the perpetrators?, Science and law blog by GNLU Society]Q.In the authors view, why does the storage of Indian citizens data within Indias borders facilitate cyber investigations?a)This action avoids conflicting with privacy regulations in other nations.b)It places the data of Indian citizens within the jurisdiction of the Code of Criminal Procedure.c)It grants authorities the ability to conduct cybercrime investigations.d)Both 1 and 2.Correct answer is option 'D'.
