PIL on Appointment of Cyber Appellate Tribunal (CAT) again adjourned

Posted on April 8, 2013 by Vijayashankar Na

The Government of India again failed to file its reply to the PIL filed in Karnataka High Court today regarding the request for early appointment of the Chair person for Cyber Appellate Tribunal in Delhi.

The Government has failed to appoint a person for the post for the last two years for reasons which cannot be explained.

As a result of this complete inaction, several appeals filed by Cyber Crime victims in the CAT are pending disposal for an unreasonably long time.

The hearing has now been postponed by another 2 weeks and hopefully the Government will be able to file the reply at least by that time.
