India has no dedicated data
protection law in India. According to Praveen Dalal,
managing partner of New Delhi based ICT law firm Perry4Law
and leading techno legal expert of India, we have no “Dedicated”
Data Protection Law in India. Even India does not have a Data
Security Law and Privacy Law. This makes the sensitive information
and personal details of Indian Citizens “Highly Vulnerable” to
misuse, informs Dalal.
Another closely related issue pertains to absence of lawful interception law in India. Lawful Interception Law of India is urgently required, suggests Dalal. India is the only country of the World where phone tapping is done without a Court Warrant and by Executive Branch of the Constitution of India. Phone tapping in India is “Unconstitutional” and the Parliament of India has not thought it fit to enact a “Constitutionally Sound Law” in this regard. Even the Supreme Court’s directions in PUCL case have proved futile and presently the Court is dealing with the issue once more, informs Dalal.
