I have filed a complaint under Section 66A of IT Act for defamatory and offensive e-mail received by me, on my personal e-mail ID, from an unknown person. The same was in Cc to some of my relatives. Now today, SC has scrapped the law.
What other sections would apply to this so that, I could request the police department to change sections in the FIR.

Bharat ji,
Without looking at the “obscene” messages, it is not erudite to comment on the sections which can be charged. Few of the sections which may be charged are
67a –s*xually explicit material transmitted electronically
66e- Violation of Privacy (if material has you or your morphed images/voice etc)
67b –if the s*xually explicit material has children
IPC 268, IPC 499/500
Apart from this there are civil remedies, which include compensation.
The list is just indicative and not exhaustive and I would suggest you take it to your legal counsel for a thorough advice.

If it contains any obscene words you can use sec 67 and if someone else's identity is used then 66c or d can be imposed.
