11.  The Cyber Law should have a strong basis for implementing
lawsuit in a court of law.
 The techno-legal corporate can be implemented and
incorporated with some grievance policies, predictive policing
and law firms in India.
 Different trends like the Cyber Security Legal Practice for the
Cyber Lawyers under the global trend and different platforms
as a joint project and consultancy like naavi and Cyberlaws
Consulting Centre (CCC) should be implemented as a solution
for identifying issues and challenges for Cyber Law.
 The field of Cyber Law may need more research as an
academic curriculum by integrating IT and Law.
11

12.  The GoI shall establish more Cyber Regulations Appellate
Tribunal (CRAT) also known as Cyber Appellate Tribunal
(CAT) in ITA-2008 (amendment) for the regulation and
monitoring of Cyber Law.
 Establishment of the Standing Committee on Information
Technology and Cyber Regulation Advisory Committee in
regular interval, to find out the statistics of crime, issues
and future challenges of the Cyber Law in India can be a
major implementation and solution.
 The taxonomy or framework of IT Act shall be
multidimensional.

13. The regulations of Cyber Law is an evolutionary, very complex process
having vast number of issues and challenges due to diversifying nature
of both technology and crime.
However some of the major solutions that can be implemented for the
challenging issues of Cyber Law, that are- awareness of Cyber law for
the society, implementation of CAT, Cyber Law requires effective law
enforcement in a multidimensional approach, regular improvement
and amendments of IT Act, implementation of Tech-legal corporate
with legal policies, Law firms, consultancies and different platform or
project can be done.
Implementation of more Cyber crime cells in India and need of more
Cyber lawyers shall require for the growing rate of cyber crime. The
global inventiveness to revitalize the Cyber Law shall play a crucial task
in removing existing lacunae in Cyber Law.
Globalization of Cyber Law is very difficult issue but in future the
global techno-legal corporate can be incorporated by GoI in Public
Private Partnership (PPP) mode to reduce the Cyber crime and
terrorism in India to meet the issues and challenges of Cyber Law.
