Respected Experts,
What shall be the position of cases registered u/s 66-A of Information Technology Act since the section is scrapped today.
If a criminal case is under trial which was registered u/s 66-A of Information Technology Act 2 years back, what is to be done ?
WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE FOR DISMISSAL OF THE CASE ?
DISCHARGE PETITION WAS FILED IN THE HON'BLE COURT AND THE DATE IS GIVEN FOR FURTHER ARGUMENTS.

Judgement of the supreme court is binding on all pending proceedings. Since yours is a pending proceeding, it has got to be dismissed.

Now the case will be dismissed if the case is registered only under this section. If other charges are there then case will proceed on those sections only.
