Shreya Singh v State of Maharashtra (2012)

cyber du_llb beginner real_case

This 2012 landmark case saw the Bombay High Court ruling that an MMS clip of a minor girl, shared on a mobile phone, was an "electronic record" under the IT Act. The court said that since the clip was stored on a mobile phone, it was an electronic record, making the sharing of it a case of publishing or distributing an obscene electronic record under the IT Act. Now, what do you guys think? Agree or disagree with the court's interpretation of an "electronic record"? Should the IT Act be applied to mobile phones storing data, or was this an overreach?
