On section 65/66 ita 2000

The fact of the incident is,

The owner of a business concern lodges an FIR against a known person u/s 65,66 ITA 2000 claiming that he knew the password/hacked the password and from that concerns mail id he had sent objectionable mail to some other authorities.But,the alleged person is nobody to the concern officially and still the concern had used his contact no to open the mail id without his knowledge.it seems,it had been done with ulterior motive on the part of the business concern.

The FIR was lodged one week back and the person came to know about it only two days back.Now, the question is,it it bailable/non-bailable offence?what should the person do now to avoid harrassment/legal trouble from the concern.

Section 65 and 66 of Information Tech.act is bailable, if the FIR INCLUDES 419 and 420 it becomes non bailable and cognizable offence.

one amendment to my previous query,

the charge was brought u/s 66a n 66c of ITA 2000.From the papers of complaint it is clear that the charge is false.Now what should the person do as he is a govt employee .these sections of RTA 2000 are bailable or non-bailable ?the complaint was lodged in local police station of the business concern.

kindly reply.urgent.
