Supreme Court on Information Technology Act, Internet & Cyber Laws and Aadhaar (1950 to 2019*)

This single-most exhaustive Digest of the case law on the Information Technology Act, Internet & Cyber Laws and Aadhaar provides the entire Supreme Court case law of more than sixty-eight years on the subject, from 1950 to 2019*.

Not only does the work contain all the rulings of the Supreme Court on this subject, but it also includes the full statutory text of two major Acts governing the subject viz.: the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Aadhaar Act, 2016 and all major allied Rules and Regulations issued under both these Acts. Moreover, the entire SCC text of the landmark Shreya Singhal case, as reported in SCC and the Headnote of the Constitution Bench ruling in the Aadhaar case, has also been included to make this compendium a comprehensive work on this subject.

The Digest has been conceived and planned on the time-tested SCC index system to enable the discovery of all the rulings, easily and quickly. Another very useful feature of this Digest is that since digest notes on the same or similar points are naturally placed close to each other, by locating the digest notes on any known case from the Table of Cases Digested, other relevant rulings on that point can easily be located nearby. The regular features like cross-citation, annotations, editorial notes and comments also continue.

This systematic, analytical and comprehensive Digest will be of immense use to the judiciary, a wide range of legal professionals and members of the Bench.

*Case-law in this volume is covered up to (2019) 6 SCC including up to (2018) 18 SCC.
