Central Monitoring System Project of India (CMS
Project of India) is a very crucial project. There are some real
problems for the CMS Project of India. We have no dedicated Privacy
Laws in India, Data
Security Laws in India and Data
Protection Laws in India. Further, the CMS Project of
India is also beyond the “Parliamentary
Scrutiny”. The Cyber Law of India, incorporated in the
Information Technology Act 2000 (IT Act 2000), was drastically
amended through the Information Technology Amendment Act 2008 (IT Act
2008).
Further, we have no E-Surveillance
Policy in India. Even Phone
Tapping in India is done in an “Unconstitutional Manner”
and even by private individuals with or without Governmental
approval.
