Section 67A IT Act | Bail Granted Where Consensual Sharing Lacks Forensic Proof of Active Dissemination : Chhattisgarh HC
The Chhattisgarh High Court ruled that Section 67A of the IT Act requires concrete evidence of intentional transmission or viral circulation of intimate content-not just prior consensual exchange-to sustain a criminal charge. This sets a critical precedent for digital privacy cases, shielding individuals from prosecution based on unsubstantiated allegations of sharing private material.
