Legal aspects involved to prevent terror attacks

BHOPAL: Former President A P J Abdul Kalam has said that several legal aspects were involved in attempts to prevent terror attacks like the one that had taken place
last month in Mumbai.

Delivering a lecture on "Law and Technology" at the National Law Institute University Wednesday night, Kalam said that these aspects included effective investigation and speedy trial of the involved persons.
    
All this was necessary to ensure that such cruel acts by some "inhuman" people were checked, he said.

Referring to cyber crimes, he said that normally the jurisdiction of a court of trial in the case of a crime is the place where it originates and the places where it is committed.
    
The former President said that in a normal case both these things occur at the same place but a cyber crime can originate in any part of the world.
  
Judges and lawyers are faced with the challenge of effectively dealing with cyber crimes, the former President said.
    
An example of developmental politics should be set up by political leaders while law-makers should ensure fast dispensation of justice, Kalam added.
