Cyber Appellate Tribunal may become active once again

Visitors to this site are aware of the several approaches the undersigned has made regarding the delayed appointment of the Chair person for Cyber Appellate Tribunal. (CAT)

The CAT which is the body which has to adjudge appeals against the decisions of Adjudicators in each State and Union Territory of India has been without a chair person since June 2011.

Today, I am in receipt of a communication from the Ministry of Communications and IT that the Chair person has been identified and recommended for confirmation on 29th September 2015, to the CJI.

We hope that soon the CJI’s approval will be received and the Cyber Judicial system becomes active once again.

    I filed 10 cases before CAT ,Hyderabad. I am only who filed the cases before CAT,Hyd.But They returned all the cases to me without taking any action.

    • Which CAT are you referring to? Is it Cyber Appellate Tribunal? or Adjudication officer, Hyderabad? or the Central Administration Tribunal?
      For Cyber Crimes, in Hyderabad, Adjudication officer (IT Secretary of the State) is relevant and on appeal it goes to CAT present in New Delhi for which the Chair person has not been appointed since 2011.
