Abstract:

This paper examines the legal framework addressing cyberbullying in India, the challenges faced by victims, law enforcement, and intermediaries, and proposes reforms to enhance responses, making them more effective, victim-centric, and rights-respecting. The study covers statutory provisions under the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the Indian Penal Code (and proposed criminal law replacements), intermediary liability rules, landmark case law, enforcement realities, and comparative perspectives. It concludes with actionable recommendations for legislative, administrative, and technological reform.
