Ms.Usha Kapoor (CEO) 30 October 2016

lIMITATION PRIOD FOR CYBER CRIMES IS 3YEARS AND IF IT IS DELAYE D BY SHOWING SUFFICIENT CAUSE YOU CAN GET THE DELAY CONDNED BY COURT.

powered to decide under this Act.

When must a complaint be filed?

The Limitation Act provides that a suit must be filed within three years from when the right to sue accrues [59].

.The same time period applies to cyber crimes also.If you APPRECIATE THIS ANSWER PLEASE CLICK THE THANK YOU BUTTON ON THIS FORUM.
