The offences under Sections 66B, 66C, 66D and 66E of Information and Technology Act, 2000, are :-
Answer: A
The offences under Sections 66B to 66E are cognizable.
Section 77B of the Information Technology Act, 2000 provides that, notwithstanding the Code of Criminal Procedure, an offence punishable with imprisonment of three years and above is cognizable, and an offence punishable with imprisonment of three years is bailable. Sections 66B (dishonestly receiving stolen devices), 66C (identity theft), 66D (cheating by personation) and 66E (violation of privacy) each carry up to three years.
They are therefore cognizable but bailable, and being punishable with up to three years they are triable by a Magistrate, not exclusively by a Court of Session.
