Discuss the significance of the Supreme Court taking suo motu cognisance of digital arrest scams in protecting citizens’ rights.
Suo motu cognisance refers to the power of the judiciary to take up a matter on its own, even without a formal complaint. Recently, the Supreme Court exercised this power to address the growing menace of digital arrest scams — cybercrimes where fraudsters impersonate police or judicial officers using AI-based tools to extort money. The Court's intervention came after reports revealed that over ₹3,000 crore had been defrauded, mainly targeting elderly citizens.
The Supreme Court's suo motu intervention in digital arrest scams symbolizes judicial responsiveness in the age of artificial intelligence and transnational crime. It not only safeguards citizens' fundamental rights but also reinforces India's commitment to ensuring justice and security in an increasingly digital society.
