New Delhi, April 21 -- Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Monday said that the assessment on bail jurisprudence cannot remain confined to the facts on an individual complaint when an accused is alleged to be part of an organised cyber fraud network, often spanning multiple jurisdictions and involving numerous victims, while asking the courts to consider the scale of criminal activity. Asserting that the cybercrimes must be recognised as a systemic threat that requires an equally systemic and anticipatory response, the CJI recommended "briefly" pausing the transfer of funds to foreign accounts to allow verification of the account holder in such cases. "Many cybercrime cases are not isolated; they are part of larger networks. This raises the need for consolidation of proceedings, coordinated hearings, and recognition of shared digital infrastructure. Fragmented adjudication risks not only inefficiency but also inconsistency. Closely allied to this is the evolving dimension of bail jurisprudence in such cases. Where an accused is alleged to be part of an organised cyber fraud network, often spanning multiple jurisdictions and involving numerous victims, the assessment cannot remain confined to the facts of an individual complaint. Courts may be required to situate such allegations within the broader architecture of organised criminal activity, bearing in mind the scale, coordination, and impact of such networks," the CJI said as he delivered the 22nd D P Kohli Memorial Lecture of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), on the subject - "Challenges of Cyber Crime: Role of Police and Judiciary"....
