How a cyber law engagement works.
- 01
Immediate triage
For active fraud — bank notification, NCRP complaint, and freeze requests must happen within hours. We move first, then formalise.
- 02
Evidence preservation
We treat digital evidence with chain-of-custody discipline — screenshots are not enough. Hash, header, and metadata preservation matter.
- 03
FIR / petition / response
Drafting of cyber complaints, IT Act petitions, takedown notices, and defence pleadings as the matter requires.
- 04
Recovery & resolution
Banking, civil and criminal tracks pursued in parallel where helpful. Realistic counsel on what is recoverable.
The PKP Advocates difference.
Most cyber matters are lost not in court but in the first few hours — when evidence is destroyed, money disappears across mule accounts, or content goes viral. The approach is to respond at the speed of the incident, with the discipline of a courtroom — evidence-first, before any step that cannot be undone.
Frequently asked questions.
I was defrauded online — can I recover the money?+
Recovery depends on how quickly the funds can be traced and frozen, the receiving bank's response, and whether the recipient account is identifiable. The first 24 hours are critical. Call us immediately.
Someone is impersonating me / sharing my morphed images. Can it be taken down?+
Yes — through a combination of platform takedown requests, IT Act 79 notices, and where needed, urgent injunctions before the High Court. Takedown requests on each platform require a specific approach — the legal notice type, citation, and contact channel all differ.
I run a business and just had a data breach. What do I need to do?+
Under the DPDP Act and IT Rules, you may have notification obligations to affected individuals and the Data Protection Board. There are also potential class action and contractual exposures. Move quickly — we will guide you through.
Do you handle crypto and exchange-related disputes?+
Yes. We handle disputes involving Indian and offshore exchanges, lost-access claims, and prosecution defence in crypto-related fraud allegations. The technical complexity is where our IT background pays off.
