Section 75 (IT ACT, 2000) – Cyber offences committed outside India

Information Technology Act, 2000

Section 75 – Cyber offences committed outside India (having Indian connection)

🔹 Short Note (Hindi)

Agar koi cyber crime India ke bahar baith kar bhi India ke computer system, network ya citizen ko target karke karta hai, toh Section 75 IT Act lagta hai. Yani India ke bahar ki location bhi excuse nahi hai.

🔹 Detailed Explanation (English + Hindi)

Section 75 IT Act ensure karta hai ki cyber offences territory se bound nahi hote. Agar:

• Offence India ke computer, network, device, ya data par effect karta ho
• Victim India ka citizen, company ya government ho
• Crime ka impact Indian jurisdiction me feel hota ho

…toh Indian authorities us offender ke khilaf action le sakti hain—chahe wo India me ho ya kisi foreign country me.

🔹 Main Conditions

1. Offence Chapter IX ya XI ke tahat ho (cyber crimes & penalties)
2. Crime ka Indian connection ho
3. Device, data, network, ya victim India se related ho
4. Location of offender does not matter

🔹 Legal Meaning (Easy Terms)

Jo bhi vyakti India ke bahar se India ke systems, citizens, ya data ko target karke cyber crime karega, uspe Indian IT Act apply hoga, aur uska prosecution ho sakta hai.

🔹 Example

Dubai me baitha hacker ek Indian bank ke server me ghusne ki koshish karta hai, ya Australia me koi person Indian girl ki photos leak karta hai — dono par Section 75 ke tahat case banega.

🔹 Key Legal Points

• Extraterritorial jurisdiction apply hota hai
• FIR India me register ho sakta hai
• Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) se accused ko bring back kiya ja sakta hai
• Interpol aur cyber cells coordinate karte hain
• VPN, foreign server, ya alias use karna bhi exemption nahi deta

🔹 Nyay Neeti Advice

• “Outside India hoon, kuch nahi hoga” sochna galat hai
• Indian companies aur individuals ko cross-border fraud, hacking aur data theft par case karne ka right hai
• Cyber laws ka scope global hai
