KOCHI: There is a need to set up special Benches in the High Court for hearing cases relating to human rights violations, cyber crimes and economic offences, the Kerala Home Minister, Mr Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, said on Saturday.

“Cyber cases are increasing in the state. Lot of problems on this issue has come up before police. A cyber cell has been formed, which was working well. But when cases are registered, problems arise,’’ he said.

The laws which have gone obsolete needs to be amended and there should be an intervention from the judiciary in this regard, he said in his inaugural address at a seminar on ‘Development of Law and Justice Perspective’, organised as part of the Kerala Hi gh Court day celebrations.

The Government was actively considering the Krishna Iyer commission report on law reforms. But due to many reasons, this process was getting delayed. The legislature was not spending sufficient time for law making process, he lamented.

I do not think sufficient number of cyber cases exist to warrant a separate bench. Basically, the people must be made aware of cyber crimes and their duty to report cyber crimes. Cyber crimes are not reported because of personal affairs involved in it. Onus of educating the people on benefits of punishing a cyber criminal both to the individual as well as society lies on the government and NGOs. Upon such awareness fear psychosis about cyber crimes could be done away with.
