 a process established by the Internet Corporation for

disputes regarding the registration of internet domain
names.
 What are the functions of U.D.R.P.?
Conclusion & suggestions
 The IT Act is Silent upon jurisdiction issues, cyber stalking, cyber
defamation, IP Security issues etc.
 Cyber security policy 2013 also failed to address upon some important
issues.
 Special legislation shall be enacted for the prevention of cybersquatting
as U.S. enacted. i.e. U.S. Anti Cybersquatting Consumer Protection
Act,1999
 Electronic certificate should not be mandatory under section 65 B of
Indian Evidence Act, 1872.
 Need for effective investigation and proper presentation of E-evidence
in court.
