The Supreme Court has affirmed Tamil Nadu's use of preventive detention laws to address the rising threat of cybercrime. Justices Sandeep Mehta and Joymalya Bagchi praised this legal approach as a necessary measure for combating online financial fraud, which poses a significant risk to public order. Under Indian law, such detention allows the temporary holding of individuals suspected of harmful activities without requiring a full trial. This ruling not only impacts Tamil Nadu but may inspire similar actions in other Indian states to strengthen responses against cybercriminals.
The Supreme Court upheld the Tamil Nadu government's decision to invoke preventive detention laws against cybercriminals, a move termed 'a very welcome approach'.
Preventive detention allows law enforcement to detain suspects without a formal trial, aimed at maintaining public order and national security.
The endorsement by the Supreme Court may encourage other states to adopt similar hardline tactics to combat online financial fraud.
Justices Sandeep Mehta and Joymalya Bagchi highlighted the urgent need for stronger legal mechanisms to address the growing threat of online financial fraud.
