February 7, 2025 at 2:26 pmVery effective and is used a lot in cases. Usually in trials you would anyway need to file a certificate under the Evidence Act/BSA stating that the electronic record was maintained properly.February 7, 2025 at 1:39 pm in reply to: AMA!!

February 7, 2025 at 1:39 pmInteresting question. So as far as I know, there is a developing RTR framework in India, but it is quite nascent. Firstly, it depends a lot on which electronic device, brand and the model we’re talking about as not all devices are covered in the framework. There is no universal right or mechanism for this. Secondly, the present state of the framework is such that it only focuses on redirecting customers to official blogs and customer services for the covered brands, and not OG spare parts or tutorials like in the EU and the US. As far as those clauses go, yes, these still exist and are enforceable under the present Indian law. Whether the company would enforce it and take some action against the customer or not is a completely different question though.Hope this helps. Thanks for asking, even I got to learn something new 🙂

February 5, 2025 at 2:55 pmCompletely agreed. My bad, I am sorry. Don’t even have any excuses for it, just missed itFebruary 5, 2025 at 2:54 pm in reply to: AMA!! I am a criminal and a technology lawyer. Ask me anything in these fields. #59853UUser_3d595570

February 5, 2025 at 2:54 pmmacavity is right. Plus, if it’s the lawyer that had abused her position, firstly raise the issue with the judge hearing your matter, and then you can also try to file a written complaint to the respective state bar council about her conduct.February 5, 2025 at 2:50 pm in reply to: AMA!!

February 5, 2025 at 2:50 pmOver four years. I had written extensively on tech law issues during law school and after. Started in criminal litigation and worked on many cases involving tech clients. Since I was free to take my own cases as well, I started advising on some tech issues as well. Journey is still on 🙂February 5, 2025 at 2:46 pm in reply to: AMA!!

OP
February 5, 2025 at 2:45 pmIn my limited experience, what tends to often happen is that the money is moved very quickly by the fraudsters and the police’s capabilities (without an FIR) are fairly limited. If you’re lucky to have an FIR registered, conducting the investigation successfully is a lot of hassle for the police. They may even write a letter to the bank but by the time any action is taken/response is received, the money is gone. The proceeds are also often converted into crypto and transferred to a wallet outside the country. An officer had once told me to approach the police as soon as the fraud occurs but even then, many people have been unable to recover their money.February 5, 2025 at 2:40 pm in reply to: AMA!!

OP
February 5, 2025 at 2:40 pmI know online complaints are not helpful at all. They only help in having something on record as the police are often unwilling to entertain such cases. My suggestion would be to file a written complaint with the police station and push for an FIR (not an NC) somehow because without an FIR, the police unfortunately cannot do anything. If they refuse to register, you can write a letter to the zonal DCP. Thereafter, you do have an option to approach a magistrate’s court (better to hire a lawyer for this).(This is just a broad idea as to what you can do; it depends a lot on the offences and the severity of the allegations you would raise)

February 5, 2025 at 2:35 pmDon’t succumb to peer pressure. Litigation is not as discouraging as it is made out to be (however you do need some support in the initial years). There are more options that just corporate and litigation so choose wisely. Don’t waste your time with pointless certificate courses. Do a variety of internships and keep your CV as simple as possible. Hope this helps 🙂February 5, 2025 at 2:33 pm in reply to: AMA!! I am a criminal and a technology lawyer.

February 5, 2025 at 2:33 pmOut of personal interest in these fields and how lucrative they would be in the coming years. It’s my belief (I can be wrong lol) that the fields are already intersecting a lot and would continue to do so because of which there would be a demand for lawyers that understand how the tech actually works. Nothing except a basic five year LL.B 🙂February 5, 2025 at 2:30 pm in reply to: AMA!! I am a criminal and a technology lawyer. Ask me anything in these fields. #59848UUser_3d595570

February 5, 2025 at 2:30 pmYes, I enjoy it a lot. It’s something I chose out of my own volition 🙂 What do you mean by what comes with it?February 5, 2025 at 2:29 pm in reply to: AMA!! I am a criminal and a technology lawyer. Ask me anything in these fields. #59837UUser_3d595570
OP
February 5, 2025 at 2:29 pmYes, it is difficult as a first-gen lawyer in litigation because you need to build your practice from scratch. Yes, you can become a tech/cybersecurity lawyer while being a litigator. But there are plenty of good examples of first-gen litigators so it’s not as discouraging as it may seem. If however you wish to enter litigation, my suggestion would be to start in your hometown or a city where you have some support, and your basic needs (roti, kapda, makaan) are taken care of.February 5, 2025 at 2:25 pm in reply to: AMA!!

OP
February 5, 2025 at 2:25 pmYou can file an application for defreezing bank account (termed differently in different places). If the chargesheet has been filed, you’d need to hire a lawyer and file as an interested third party. I am presuming you are not added as an accused. If you have been named in the FIR/chargesheet/added as accused, you can file the application once process has been issued. Depending under which provision it has been frozen, you can frame your grounds accordingly. If the application before the trial court is unsuccessful, you can approach the sessions/high court under revision/writ jurisdiction.This is a broad idea as to how you can go about it. You would however require a lawyer as it seems unlikely that the police would defreeze it simply if you ask them to.
