Cyber & Technology Law

Cybercrime Complaints & Litigation

Our firm provides comprehensive legal support for victims and entities facing cybercrime, leveraging a deep understanding of the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Indian Penal Code, and evolving digital evidence standards. We assist clients in reporting offenses to law enforcement—including specialized units like the Cyber Crime Police Station—and guide them through the process of filing a formal FIR (First Information Report) for offenses such as hacking, identity theft, phishing, online fraud, cyber defamation, data breaches, and dark web activities. We ensure that complaints are backed by robust digital evidence, including forensic audit reports, server logs, and electronic documentation that meet the stringent requirements of investigative agencies and courts.

Once a complaint is lodged, we work closely with law enforcement during investigation and evidence collection, providing legal oversight to ensure procedural compliance and timely action. For clients facing cybercrime allegations, we mount a vigorous defense, challenging the authenticity of digital evidence, questioning jurisdiction, and safeguarding against wrongful prosecution. Our litigation practice extends to representing clients in criminal trials, appeals, and anticipatory bail applications related to cyber offenses. We also handle civil remedies—such as securing injunctions to remove defamatory content or seek damages for privacy violations—and pursue cross-border cybercrime issues through international legal cooperation channels.

Beyond reactive measures, we offer preventive cyber legal advisory services, including policy drafting (privacy policies, IT usage policies), compliance with data protection requirements, and employee training on cyber hygiene and incident response. For businesses, we conduct digital risk assessments and develop crisis management protocols for data breaches. By combining technical awareness with legal rigor, we help clients navigate the complex landscape of cyber threats, ensuring robust protection of their digital rights and interests in both criminal and civil forums.

Key areas of focus:

We move beyond generic templates to create contracts and disclosures that are specifically tailored to your business model, operational practices, and the data you collect, ensuring they are not only compliant with current law but also designed to mitigate your unique risk profile.

For Terms and Conditions, we meticulously outline the rules of engagement for users, including account registration protocols, intellectual property rights (clarity on ownership of your content and user-generated content), prohibited activities, disclaimers of warranty, limitations of liability, and detailed dispute resolution clauses (including governing law and arbitration agreements). For Privacy Policies, we draft clear, transparent disclosures required under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), 2023, and other global regulations like the GDPR if applicable. This includes specifying the types of data collected (personal and sensitive), the lawful purpose for processing, data retention periods, user rights (access, correction, erasure), cookies and tracking technologies, and protocols for data sharing with third parties.

Our strategic approach views these documents as critical risk management tools. We ensure your Terms of Use are structured as a legally enforceable binding contract, while your Privacy Policy accurately reflects your practices to build user trust and avoid regulatory penalties for misrepresentation.

We represent financial institutions, banks, and NBFCs in enforcing security interests without court intervention, allowing for the swift recovery of non-performing assets (NPAs) through measures such as issuing demand notices, taking symbolic and physical possession of secured assets, and arranging for their sale through public auction. Our team ensures strict adherence to procedural timelines—including the critical 60-day response period for borrowers—to minimize delays and maximize recovery outcomes.

For borrowers facing SARFAESI actions, we offer robust defense strategies, challenging proceedings on grounds such as non-compliance with procedural requirements, wrongful classification of debt as NPA, or disputing the validity of the security interest. We assist in filing appeals before the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) and, if necessary, the DRAT, to seek stays against asset possession or auction. Our approach also includes negotiating one-time settlements (OTS) or restructuring agreements with lenders to help borrowers regularize their debts and avoid the loss of secured assets.

For lenders—including banks, NBFCs, and asset reconstruction companies (ARCs)—we offer a comprehensive strategy that begins with early-stage default management and extends through robust enforcement actions. This includes initiating recovery under the SARFAESI Act, filing cases before Debt Recovery Tribunals (DRTs), and pursuing resolution under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). We ensure strict adherence to regulatory guidelines issued by the RBI, guiding clients through the classification, provisioning, and reporting requirements associated with NPAs while maximizing recovery through negotiated settlements, asset sales, or legal decree enforcement.

We also advise on the potential for corporate insolvency resolution processes (CIRP) initiated by financial creditors, representing corporate debtors in negotiations to achieve favorable resolution plans or, when necessary, guiding them through the acquisition process to preserve enterprise value.

Our proactive approach emphasizes early intervention to prevent accounts from slipping into NPA status through pre-default restructuring advisory and diligent documentation review. We also assist in the sale and acquisition of NPAs and security receipts, conducting due diligence and facilitating transactions between banks and ARCs. By combining deep regulatory knowledge with assertive litigation tactics, we help clients navigate the entire NPA lifecycle—from early warning and restructuring to recovery and resolution—transforming non-performing exposures into managed outcomes with clarity, efficiency, and minimized financial disruption.
