Sec.43 of IT Act 2000,speaks about penalty.It imposes only a liability"to pay damages by way of compensation not exceeding one crore rupees",to the person harmed by the tort.

According to sec.66 whoever commits hacking,shall be punished with imprisonment upto three years or with fine which may extend up to two lakh rupees or with both.

Can a person who commits hacking be punished under section 66 and with a liability of one crore under 43? As the acts in both the case are same and one?
