In a groundbreaking move for digital justice, Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal announced that Rajasthan will soon establish cyber courts alongside its cyber police stations, making it the first state in India to do so. Speaking at a state-level conference organized by the Rajasthan State Legal Services Authority in Jaipur on Sunday, Meghwal highlighted the urgent need for specialized judicial infrastructure to tackle the rising tide of cybercrimes.
The three-day event, which drew participation from Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, focused on various facets of cyber threats, awareness campaigns, and prevention strategies. Meghwal, welcomed with a traditional safa, emphasized how such conferences create a vital platform for addressing cybersecurity concerns across the nation.
‘People are falling victim to cyber frauds due to lack of proper information,’ Meghwal told reporters. He pointed out that similar programs in Delhi have proven effective in educating the public. The minister stressed that public awareness remains the government’s top priority to shield citizens from online scams.
This initiative, announced by the Chief Minister, promises swift justice for cybercrime victims. Experts at the conference discussed the diverse types of cyber offenses and practical measures to combat them. With cyber police stations already operational, the addition of dedicated courts will streamline investigations and trials, reducing backlogs in regular courts.
Meghwal praised the Legal Services Authority for facilitating voluntary sessions that deliver maximum information in minimal time. As digital transactions surge, Rajasthan’s model could set a precedent for other states, ensuring faster resolutions and stronger deterrence against cybercriminals. The conference concluded on a high note, with attendees lauding the comprehensive discussions and actionable insights provided.
