Legal Question in Criminal Law in India
My friend was arrested under section 67 of Information Technology Act 2000 in Oct 2008 and now out in bail. Bail bond amount was Rs.50000. Trail not yet started. Chargesheet filed. Now that the Information Technology amentment Act 2008 has been passed on 5th Feb 2009 and published in Gazette.
Is this true that Punishment for section 67 has been reduced from 5 years to 3 years and now the offence under section 67 is now made bailable offence?

even though the act is amended but as your friend is already on bail, you need not bother. as far as reduction in quantum of sentence is concerned, that may benefit him after the trial has concluded.
