Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Gulzar Ahmed said on Saturday that the government needs to pay serious attention to cybercrime issues in the country by introducing strict cyber laws.
Addressing a seminar on cybercrime organised by the Punjab Judicial Academy, CJP Gulzar Ahmed said that it was important to first understand what cybercrime really was. He said that there was a general impression that cybercrimes occurred on Facebook and Whatsapp, and a lot of work was also being performed regarding cybercrime and its laws all over the world.
Justice Gulzar Ahmed further said that relevant agencies in Pakistan regarded this crime as just a common complaint whereas it needed a different kind of serious attention. Chief Justice said that we needed to learn to distinct the cyber and ordinary crimes to provide relief to the victims and that too taking a quick action.
He further said that both positive and negative users of mobile phones and computers need counseling and the government will have to make strict cyber laws.
Speaking on the occasion, Lahore High Court Chief Justice Mamoon Rashid Sheikh said Pakistan have best cyber laws but our law enforcement agencies lacking expertise on these laws.
He said Punjab Judicial Academy was a best institution, which was playing its best role for providing justice in Pakistan. “Enforcement of cyber laws in this digital world is essential,” chief justice high court said.
Pakistan have the best cyber laws but our several law enforcement agencies lacking expertise over these laws, Justice Mamoon Rashid said. “The information technology and digital business have changed our lives, we have now left physical business and physical banking and entered in logical banking,” the chief justice said. “It is misfortune of our society, we own negative aspects of a thing more than the positive dimensions,” Justice Mamoon Rashid said.
