What is procedure for cybercrime case in Pakistan?

 


In Pakistan, the procedure for a cybercrime case generally follows the steps below:

1. Filing a Complaint: The first step is to file a complaint with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Cyber Crime Wing or the local police station. The complaint can be filed in person, online or through a phone call.

2. Preliminary Investigation: Once the complaint is filed, the investigating agency will conduct a preliminary investigation to determine whether a cyber crime has been committed or not. During this stage, the investigating officer may take statements from the complainant and any witnesses, gather electronic evidence, and conduct other relevant investigations.

3. FIR Registration: If the investigating officer is satisfied that a cyber crime has been committed, they will register a First Information Report (FIR) against the accused. An FIR is a written document that sets out the details of the crime and the names of the accused.

4. Investigation: After the FIR is registered, the investigating agency will start a detailed investigation. This involves collecting and analyzing evidence, interviewing witnesses, and gathering any other relevant information.

5. Arrest and Trial: If there is sufficient evidence, the accused will be arrested and brought before the court. The trial will take place according to the Criminal Procedure Code of Pakistan, and the accused will have the right to legal representation and a fair trial.

6. Verdict: After hearing both sides of the case, the court will give its verdict. If the accused is found guilty, they will be sentenced according to the law.

7. Appeal: If the accused is not satisfied with the verdict, they can file an appeal to a higher court.

It is important to note that the procedure may vary depending on the nature of the cyber crime and the jurisdiction in which it occurred.
