Section 66-C IT Act | Identity Theft Acquittal Upheld Due to Prosecution's Failure to Positively Identify Accused : CGHC

Chhattisgarh High Court dismisses the State's appeal, affirming acquittal under Section 66-C IT Act where the prosecution failed to positively identify the accused or link them to the fake profile through digital evidence. The ruling underscores that mere suspicion or anonymous complaints are insufficient to establish guilt in cyber identity theft cases.
