Introduction

Cyber law cases often face significant delays due to a combination of factors, including the evolving nature of cybercrime, lack of expertise, jurisdictional challenges, and procedural complexities. The intersection of these issues contributes to the slow resolution of cyber law cases.One of the primary reasons for delays in cyber law cases is the rapidly evolving landscape of cybercrime. Cybercriminals constantly develop new methods and technologies to exploit vulnerabilities, making it difficult for investigators and legal professionals to keep up4. As Justice Anoop Chitkara of the Punjab & Haryana High Court noted, cybercrime is an emerging field, and investigators often lack the necessary skills and educational qualifications to tackle these crimes effectively. This deficiency leads to longer investigation times, as investigators need more time to understand the technologies and methods used by cybercriminals. Jurisdictional issues further complicate cyber law cases. Cybercrime often transcends geographical boundaries, making it challenging to determine which jurisdiction has the authority to investigate and prosecute the offenders4. As noted in “Emerging Issues of Cyber Space,” cybercrime is easy to commit but extremely difficult to trace in terms of jurisdiction, considering the geographical indeterminacy of the internet. The problem of territorial sovereignty is a significant one that the IT Act of 2000 does not adequately resolve, leading to investigators sometimes abandoning cases based on jurisdictional concerns
