Best Cyber Law Training In India

Cyber crimes in India are increasing and so is the demand for trained cyber law professionals.

Cyber law is catching up with the legal and technical professionals as a career. Cyber law is a techno-legal aspect rather than being legal or technical. A person who has working knowledge of both legal and technical aspects alone can be a good cyber law professional. Further, mere academic knowledge is of no use in the present competitive environment and practical training and coaching is of paramount importance.

Perry4Law Techno-Legal Base (PTLB) is one of the premier techno-legal institutions of the world and the best in India. It provides a good combination of techno-legal education, coaching and training to the enrolled professionals. It has launched training and coaching courses like Bar Examinations, Cyber Law Training, etc.

If you need a good career in cyber law and allied fields you may try these courses.

Legal System Of India Needs Reforms

By
Praveen Dalal

This is a “Guest Column” by Mr. Praveen Dalal, Managing Partner of Perry4Law. In this opinion he has expressed his views regarding bringing qualitative changes in the legal education system of India.

Legal education is the base for a versatile and robust “Bar and Bench” in India. Unfortunately, the quality of law graduates is, by and large, not up to the mark. Those who dare to go for traditional litigation system are faced with tremendous difficulties. This is more so regarding first generation lawyers who have no god father to support them.

There is no doubt about the fact that face value plays an important role in Indian courts. Of course, we have many good judges who encourage young and fresh lawyers to argue and present their cases. This is a great inspiration as well as encouragement for young lawyers.

However, in this period of confusion and doldrums, the Law Minister of India and Bar Council of India (BCI) must take some urgent and immediate steps to rejuvenate Indian legal system. The call is for both HRD Minister Mr. Kapil Sibbal as well as for law Minister Mr. Veerappa Molly. While the former must inculcate qualitative legal education at the graduation level the latter must make it sure that Indian Legal and judicial Systems have a good pool of talented lawyers and judges.

Easy said than done. At the same time we also need proper management and collaborations to take legal and judicial standards of India to highest level. Time has come when all the concerned stakeholders must unite their expertise to improve the legal system of India.

Human Rights In India At Stake

By
Ram K Kaushik

Civil liberties in India in general and privacy rights in particular are at stake. The government of India is doing its level best to invade human rights of Indians. It is formulating projects after projects without any regard to civil liberties of Indians. Whether it is Aadhar project of India or Natgrid Project of India the civil liberties of Indians are openly and blatantly violated.

Aadhar project of India is devoid of any legal framework that may back the spending of crores of money. There is no sense in continuing the project till there is a constitutionally sound law backing its operations. Till now the UIDAI is operating without any authority and there is no justifications for the amount spend under the project.

Similarly, Natgrid project was originally stalled due to protests from experts and lack of privacy safeguards. The Home ministry of India is trying to revive the same with great disregard to privacy rights and civil liberties. According to media reports, even the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) of India has unofficially cleared the project. After the protests from civil liberty experts the government of India has once again declared that it would clear the Natgrid project only after independent audit regarding proper safeguards for privacy rights of stakeholders.

It seems the government of India is not serious at all about privacy rights in India and it merely gives press statement the moment it faces a protest. Only time will tell how sincere it is regarding protecting privacy rights and civil liberties of Indians?

Cabinet Committee on Security Is Taking Natgrid Casually

Natgrid Project Of India does not safeguard civil liberties violations in India.

It has been reported that the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) has cleared the setting up of the highly controversial National Intelligence Grid (Natgrid) project, which will allow investigating, enforcement and intelligence agencies to access real-time information easily. What is surprising is that the issues that makes Natgrid project violative of civil liberties of Indians have not yet been resolved. Even the CCS has not yet gone through the detailed project report prepared by Home Ministry that claims that privacy violations issues have been resolved.

Interestingly, the detailed report has to be finalised and then only it will be shown to home minister P. Chidambaram before being sent back to CCS. If this is the procedure then there is no question of getting a clearance from CCS at this stage unless both Home Ministry and CCS considers the “safeguards exercise” a formality and redundant exercise.

Indian Government Is Implementing Projects Without Laws

India prefers projects ignoring the human rights of Indians especially privacy rights in India.

India is looking forward for some very crucial and significant projects and history seems to be repeating. For instance, aadhar project of India, Natgrid project of India, etc are once again in limelight. The former intends to provide a unique identification number to every citizen whereas the latter empowers the law enforcement and intelligence agencies of India with informational inputs.

Needless to mention that database collected by a single authority like census authority of India or aadhar project can be used by Indian government for as many projects as it likes. Here comes the importance of a good data protection and privacy law of India. In the absence of procedural safeguards the data and information can be misused. The government of India is ignoring and avoiding this much needed exercise.

What Made Aadhar Project Of India Unconstitutional?

The Aadhar Project of India has once again tested the lack of data protection and privacy rights in India. Data protection and privacy laws must be enacted by India as soon as possible. India does not have any specific and dedicated data protection and privacy laws in India. On the contrary India is strongly committed to e-surveillance and other forms of privacy violation activities.

Human rights have to be actively protected in Indian cyberspace. Presently India is not paying any attention towards protecting civil liberties of Indians in cyberspace.

For instance, take the example of national intelligence grid (NATGRID) that was literally imposed upon Indian citizens. Thanks to the stiff resistance by experts, it has been temporarily stalled.

Similarly, the government of India is also imposing the aadhar project of India upon Indian citizens without any legislative backing and civil liberty safeguards. If aadhar project or UID project is allowed without civil liberty protection, it would be a civil liberty nightmare for Indians. The UIDAI must not proceed further and utilise hard earned public money till a statutory framework is in place.

The ultimate call is for the Parliament of India to take that is shying away from its responsibilities. On the contrary, it is making laws like information technology amendment act 2008 (sole cyber law of India) that empowers the Indian government to snoop and violate privacy of Indians without proper safeguards.

Aadhar is violating the civil liberties of Indians. For detail kindly see:

(a) Aadhar Watch Initiative Of India

(b) Aadhar Project is Unconstitutional

(c) Hit and trial projects in India

(d) UID Watch Initiative of India

(e) Strange things happen in India

(g) Natgrid And Privacy Violations

These articles carry all the information that proves that aadhar project is violating the civil liberties of Indians.

Law For UIDAI In Pipeline

At last the unique identification authority of India (UIDAI) managing the UID project of India decided to do the right thing. It has decided to propose a law that would regulate its functioning and incorporate provisions for the safeguard of privacy rights of the citizens whose database it is going to manage.

The step came after objections were raised by civil liberty activists in India. The first and most vibrant protest came from the Aadhar Watch Initiative of India. Opposing the Aadhar project of India in its present form the aadhar watch initiative specified the ground on which UIDAI in general and UID project/Aadhar project in particular are illegal and unconstitutional.

This is a welcome step and would strengthen Aadhar project of India in the long run. However, the task is not easy as India does not have any dedicated and exclusive data protection and privacy law. UIDAI would be performing a difficult task especially since it has a time of almost 20 days alone. Let us hope that UIDAI would be able to achieve what it has promised because in the absence of the same, no action of UIDAI can be held to be legal and constitutional.

India Needs Laws To Curb Illegal Surveillance

Colonial laws regarding surveillance are violating civil liberties of Indians, says Praveen Dalal.

India is presently engaging in both legal and illegal e-surveillance activities. Both governmental as well as non-governmental persons and institutions are engaging in electronic communications sniffing. Internet as well as spectrums is vulnerable to illegal eavesdropping and the colonial laws like Indian Telegraph Act are absolutely redundant to remedy the situation.

In the absence of legislative protection, the citizens are well within their right to protect their privacy and property through private defense. The fact is that no time in the history of India the citizens of India are more vulnerable for breaches of their civil liberties. The governmental projects like Aadhar/UID, Natgrid, CCTNS, etc are though of great public interest yet they are also the landmine for civil liberty interests of Indians.

Parliament of India must enact suitable laws in this regard. Till now the Parliament is not willing to regulate the matters pertaining to surveillance and e-surveillance and this is resulting in an increased unrest among civil liberty enthusiastics in India,says Praveen Dalal.

To make the matter worst, the Indian government amended the cyber law of India through information technology amendment act 2008 that provides unlimited, unregulated and unconstitutional e-surveillance powers in the hands of governmental machinery and its agencies. This anarchy has resulted in a situation where now the agencies are not even bothered to ask for permission for surveillance and government cannot do anything except denying such incidences.

It is time for the government of India to wake up and protect the civil liberties of Indians.

Data Protection Law In India Is Urgently Needed

Data protection and privacy rights are becoming important day by day in India. India does not have any specific and dedicated data protection and privacy laws in India. On the contrary India is strongly committed to e-surveillance and other forms of privacy violation activities.

Human rights have to be actively protected in Indian cyberspace. Presently India is not paying any attention towards protecting civil liberties of Indians in cyberspace.

Is Bar Council Serious About Bar Examination?

A genuine question that comes to my mind is whether Bar Council of India (BCI) is serious about bar examinations in India? To be successful the BCI must take some immediate steps as soon as possible. Either it should not have declared the requirement of bar exams at all or it should have made public at least the basic outline of the proposed exam. By making mere declaration of bar exams, it has done more damage than help.

Till 8th of March 2010 the BCI has not come out with any concrete proposal or outline for the August/September 2010 bar exams. It would be good for all concerned bar exams entrants to have a clear cut guideline regarding bar exams. In the absence of the same, lots of dissatisfaction and unrest is gripping the final year law students.

Some Facts About CRAT

There is an urgent need of spreading awareness about cyber law of India. Indian information technology act 2000 (IT Act 2000) carries the cyber law of India. Although it has many wide ramifications yet public at large is not aware about even the most basic ones.

For instance, not much of public is aware about CRAT. It is an important part of cyber disputes adjudication but by and large is still not very active. Cyber law expert Praveen Dalal believes that CRAT needs to take more initiatives to spread public awareness and to start with it must have its own website.

CRAT is presently engaged in spreading awareness among adjudicating officers of various states and this is a good sign, says Dalal.

SOURCE: CIO

Awareness Of Cyber Law In India

Cyber law of India is incorporated in the information technology act, 2000 (IT Act 2000) of India. Although the IT Act 2000 was enacted in the year 2000 yet it has to catch the speed to be effective in India. Lawyers, judges, police officers, etc need to update themselves with the nitty-gritty of cyber law.

According to Praveen Dalal, the leading cyber law expert of India, one area that requires special attention is the cyber law awareness in India. Presently, there is absence of cyber law awareness in India. For instance, very few people and organisations are aware that we have CRAT to adjudicate upon disputes arising out of IT Act, 2000. We have launched a platform for cyber law awareness as well as spreading words about CRAT, informs Dalal.

CRAT needs to take pro active steps to spread awareness about cyber law as well as adjudicating mechanisms arising out of the same.

Techno-Legal Cyber Security Centre Of India

Cyber security in India must be a part of national policy making, says Praveen Dalal founder of cyber security centre of India.

Cyber security is an area that requires immediate attention by Indian government. Till now there is a dearth of cyber security professionals in India. The position is even worst when it comes to techno-legal cyber security expertise.

The result is very obvious. The Parliament of India is unable to incorporate the cyber security requirements in the Indian laws in the absence of techno-legal expertise. Thanks to the first and exclusive techno-legal cyber security centre of India now the Parliament of India can enact suitable techno-legal cyber security related provisions. Founded by Praveen Dalal, the leading techno-legal expert of India, it is the most comprehensive as well as holistic cyber security imitative of India.

The cyber security centre is covering areas like cyber war, cyber terrorism, cyber espionage, critical ICT infrastructure protection (CIIP), cyber forensics, etc. Till now this sort of initiative is not only unique in India but also carried out by very few individuals or organisations.

Bar Examinations In India: BCI Must Take Immediate Steps

By

Ram K Kaushik

Till now the law students must be aware about the proposed bar examinations in India. After going through both sides of arguments (law students v bar council), it seems both have their respective share of merits. The final year law students are somewhat apprehensive about the bar examinations. They have their own share of problems ranging from final year exams, placement opportunities, internships, etc. On the other hand the Bar Council of India (BCI) is facing a Herculean task of legal reforms in India.

Qualitative legal education is one of the pre requisites of effective legal reforms in India. Having a qualitative legal education is totally different from appearing in bar examinations as the orientation for both of them is completely different. But there is no escape from the reality that whether the final year students like it or not but ultimately they have to go through bar examination. It is better to start preparing both mentally as well as educationally.

Accepted. But from where to start preparation as preparation cannot be in vacuum. The BCI has not come up with any sort of information regarding the same. Although some good suggestions for a successful implementation of bar examinations can be found, yet we need the same from BCI itself.

As far as my opinion goes, final year students must start preparing for the same as risking bar enrollment means risking the entire legal career.

Way To Make Bar Examinations Successful In India

By

Praveen Dalal

From August/September 2010 all fresh law graduates or those who have already graduated but not yet enrolled would be compulsorily required to pass a bar examination to be conducted by Bar Council of India (BCI). Perry4Law Techno-Legal Base (PTLB) and its Bar Examination Segment welcome this initiative of BCI as it would go a long way in bringing Judicial and Legal Reforms in India.

Having said that one cannot deny the difficulties and challenges that the BCI and others associated with the bar examination would face. On top of it are the fears and apprehensions of final year law graduates regarding the same. They have fears that their education at respective law school may not automatically empower them to clear the bar exams and they need some more time to exclusively prepare for the bar exam.

Here starts the real problem. If the bar examination is a sub standard one and is mere formality, it would fail to bring required legal reforms in India. On the other hand, if the exam is a real and effective one, the students must hone up their existing legal knowledge and acumen as the pattern of their study and exams at law colleges/schools may be different from that of bar exams.

I must confess that the burden is upon the BCI to tackle this arduous task effectively as well as graciously. On the one hand it has a greater responsibility towards the nation at large whereas on the other hand it must act as a guide and mentor for fresh law graduates. While the first task has been effectively taken up by the BCI the latter one, in my personal opinion, has been totally neglected by the BCI. Till now the BCI has not come up with a concrete plan regarding the bar exams. For instance, there is no information regarding the course contents, syllabus, dates of exam, authorities that would conduct the exams, suggested resources for preparation, institutions with whom it has tie ups, etc.

While PTLB and Bar Examination Segment of Perry4Law have taken a small but significant step in this direction yet the initiative must come from BCI itself. We have started an “Online Platform” where the registered students may have some guidance and insight regarding the course mentioned therein. This is a “Prototype” that may be adopted by BCI or the BCI may (if it thinks fit) rope us for their bar exams initiative.

Whatever the choice the BCI exercises, it has to keep in mind at least two things. Firstly, it has to arrange all the matters pertaining to bar exams precisely and efficiently. Secondly, it has to do this as soon as possible as the dissatisfaction and unrest among the final year students is increasing.

Perry4Law, PTLB and its other Segments wish all the best to the BCI and we have full faith in not only the intentions but also the potential of BCI to conduct bar exams effectively, efficiently and successfully.

SC Holds Narcoanalysis, Brainmapping Tests Unconstitutional

In a major blow to investigating agencies, the Supreme Court on Wednesday declared as "illegal" use of narcoanalysis, brainmapping and polygraph tests on suspects. Narco, polygraph or brainmapping tests cannot be conducted on any person, whether an accused or a suspect, without their consent, the SC’s judgement said. "We are of the considered opinion that no individual can be forced and subjected to such techniques involuntarily, and by doing so it amounts to unwarranted intrusion of personal liberty," a bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan said. The apex court said that involuntarily subjecting an accused, a suspect or a witness to such techniques violates Article 20 (3) of the Constitution, which prohibits self-incrimination. Forcing an individual to such methods of investigation violates the scheme of legal process, it said, adding that even if such tests are taken voluntarily then also results cannot be used as evidence unless corroborated by other evidence. However, the bench also comprising Justices R V Raveendran and Dalveer Bhandari said if anything obtained by the investigators from such techniques in which a person had volunteered, the agencies can use them for further probe. The court further observed that in conducting the polygraphy test, the investigating agencies have to follow strictly the guidelines laid down by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). The apex court had on January 25, 2008 reserved its order on a batch of petitions challenging investigation techniques like brain mapping, lie detection and narcoanalysis as being illegal and unconstitutional, especially in cases where accused are opposed to them. The judgement assumes significance as the investigating agencies have been using narcoanalysis, brain-mapping and polygraph tests in a number of high-profile cases involving fake stamp paper kingpin Abdul Karim Telgi, Nithari killings accused, Arushi murder case suspects as well as parents of the teenager.

Public Outrage Reformed The Aadhar Project

By

Ram K Kaushik

One of the aspects that irritate me a lot is the attitude of Indian government towards the civil liberties of Indian citizens. Why is it always that the government of India always wakes up when public spirited citizens vehemently oppose its repressive and unconstitutional acts or omissions?

Two of such recent projects that were based upon this mentality of Indian government are national intelligence grid (Natgrid) and aadhar project of India/UID project of India. Both of these projects were stalled after protests by public, especially by techno-legal experts like Praveen Dalal.

Firstly, it was Natgrid that was stalled after stiff protests. Now even the aadhar project is facing difficulties and it may not proceed further till a law supporting the same is enacted by Parliament of India. Fortunately, we have some heroes who have finally convinced the government of Indian to enact law regarding aadhar project of India.

However, the real question is why the government of India always needs a shock to wake up and why cannot it take help of people in advance whose suggestions and recommendations it subsequently accepts?

SOURCE: CIO

Heroes Who Saved Aadhar Project Of India

Aadhar project of India was never constitutional and legal. However, the government was confident that it would be successful in imposing the same upon Indian citizens. At this stage some public spirited individuals rose up to the occasion and forced the Indian government to reconsider its decision. Now as per the latest news, the government of India has agreed to enact a law for Aadhar project of India.

Let us see the heroes who saved Aadhar project of India from governmental arbitrariness and lawlessness.

The first and most obvious choice is the Aadhar Project Watch Initiative founded by Praveen Dalal, the leading techno-legal expert of India and a civil liberty expert of India. The suggestions and recommendations of Aadhar Project Watch Initiative of India have been finally accepted by the government of India. The government has finally agreed to enact a law to back UID Project of India or Aadhar Project of India. There was a growing dissatisfaction among the masses in India regarding the way Aadhar project has been implemented in India. Civil liberty experts like Praveen Dalal have been suggesting that aadhar project of India is illegal and unconstitutional in the absence of a legislative framework. According to Praveen Dalal, the UIDAI must not use public funds till provisions regarding the same are incorporated in the law to be formulated by Parliament of India.

It is good to see that government of India has once again accepted the suggestions that are pertinent for the successful implementation of aadhar project of India. It would be even better if techno-legal experts like Praveen Dalal are inducted into the process of law making so that both technical as well as legal aspects can be suitable incorporated into the proposed law.

Others have also raised their voices against the present form of aadhar project. For instance, V.K.Singh has given a very good account why aadhar project of India is unconstitutional. Gunjan Singh has explained that hit and trial attitude of India is the real cause of failure of these projects. Ram K Kaushik has outlined the importance of aadhar watch project of India in streamlining the efforts of UIDAI. He has also analysed the legal position when citizens of India can take recourse of private defense against the State if projects like Natgrid, Aadhar, etc are imposed upon them.

These people are the real heroes who have played a great role in strengthening the civil liberties of Indian citizens. Interestingly, aadhar is not the first project that has been opposed to by Indians. Previously, even Natgrid project was objected to and the government finally accepted the suggestions of Praveen Dalal in this regard. Let us hope that India will learn from these incidences before trying any new hit and trial project in India.

Register For Bar Examination Coaching 2010

Now it is finally settled that the fresh law graduates would have to pass a bar examination before being enrolled with the Bar Council of India there is no sense in waiting for the same. Either you start preparing for the same on your own or you may take help of the leading, rather exclusive, online bar examination coaching and training centre of India.

This initiative is managed by world renowned techno-legal segment of Perry4Law known as Perry4Law techno-Legal Base (PTLB). For those who are seriously interested in getting an enrolment, this seems to be a golden opportunity.

PTLB has formally launched its “enrollment platform” where final year law students can enroll for the August/September bar Examination, 2010. Interested students may fulfill the prescribed criteria and enroll for the same.

The platform is also providing online cyber law coaching, training and internship. Interested students or professionals may also join the same.

Registration for various courses, trainings and internships of PTLB can be done “Here". This is the prototype of the platform that would be available to prospective students and professionals for the courses and trainings of PTLB.

Since the seats are limited and early registrants would also be given a preference for subsequent courses and training of PTLB, it would be a smart decision to enroll as soon as possible.

Further, it would take some time to accustom with the online learning environment, early enrollment would also help in the same. This way before the actual course starts the students or professionals would already be aware how to use the platform for a definite success in their techno-legal careers.

Useful tips and info would also be shared with the registered users and enrolled students and professionals that would not be available to others. Get yourself a seat before they are gone and have an edge over others in techno-legal career in India.

Private Defense Against Indian E-Surveillance State

By

Ram K Kaushik

Privacy rights were never considered seriously by India. Indian government instead of enacting suitable privacy legislations for India preferred exactly the opposite by making India an e-police State. India achieved this unconstitutional objective through the instrumentality of information technology amendment act 2008 that coffered upon it unfettered, unreasonable, unregulated and unconstitutional e-surveillance powers. Through this amendment the sole cyber law of India was not only made criminal friendly but also a tool of e-surveillance in India.

Realising that India would remain committed to its endemic e-surveillance status and priorities; Praveen Dalal launched a platform for human rights protection in cyberspace in India. It is the exclusive platform of its type not only in India but also world wide. It provides legal and constitutional techno-legal methods and defenses against an over zealous and endemic e-surveillance Indian State. It also provides a methodology where a law abiding citizen or organisation can exercise “private defense” against State for violation of their human rights. The fears and basis of launching this platform have proved to be correct by the recent developments of human rights violations by Indian State through phone tapping and otherwise.

India has also launched some more serious and fatal e-surveillance projects since the abovementioned initiative by Praveen Dalal was launched in 2009. For instance projects like Natgrid, Aadhar, CCTNS, etc have apparent and certain privacy violation and other human rights violations potential. To meet the growing threats from these initiatives of Indian government, Praveen Dalal has launched once again another platform named as civil liberties protection in cyberspace. This is broader in nature and capable of providing a long term and more robust protection against growing e-surveillance activities of Indian government.

If you are a law abiding citizen and you face a situation where you are a victim of illegal and unconstitutional e-surveillance by Indian authorities, try the tools and methodologies mentioned at these platforms. However, Indian authorities are well within their rights to use e-surveillance for legitimate and legal purposes and in such a situation do not even think about using private defense against them, warn Praveen Dalal.

Judges And Lawyers Training Centre In India

Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh has advised judges and lawyers of India to continuously upgrade their knowledge. He suggested that judges and lawyers must go for periodic refresher courses so they can cope up with the paradigm shift in the very nature of law. New areas like cyber law should be learnt by them.

These are very wise word. However, to achieve the same we need good quality and world renowned techno-legal institutions that can achieve this task. Perry4Law Techno-Legal Base (PTLB) is one such premier techno-legal institution of the world. It has recently launched its online techno-legal cyber law training, coaching, internships, etc for law students, lawyers, judges, professionals, etc.

PTLB is just one of the techno-legal segments of Perry4Law. There are some very interesting techno-legal segments of Perry4Law that take care of various techno-legal services of Perry4Law. For instance, take the example of techno-legal lifelong learning centre of Perry4Law. It is the exclusive lifelong learning centre of India working in the direction of providing a continuing and lifelong legal learning in India. Similarly, the bar examination segment of Perry4Law is catering the demands of fresh law graduates to clear the recently introduced bar examination in India.

As far as training of judges in India is concerned we have some very good institutions in India. However, there seems to be no training centre for lawyers in India. The real problem comes when we talk about techno-legal training of lawyers and judges in India.

Fortunately, even this issue has been redressed by Perry4Law Techno-Legal ICT Training Centre (PTLITC) of Perry4Law. It is providing techno-legal training to almost all the segments of governmental as well as non-governmental professionals and workforce. Among other trainings, it is also providing training to judges and lawyers in India and abroad.

With these initiatives at place, lot of hope is available for the legal fraternity as well as judges in India.

Techno-Legal Higher Legal Education In India Got A Boost

Cyber law is a technical subject and has tremendous career opportunities. This is more so if cyber law education, training and coaching is provided by a platform like Perry4Law Techno-Legal Base (PTLB). PTLB is world renowned for its techno-legal services and with that reputation backing PTLB it has started another landmark initiative.

For the enthusiastics of cyber law, PTLB has started online cyber law training, coaching and internship courses. This way those who cannot personally attend its internship, coaching and training programs, can do so with the help of Internet. So much so that now even resident of other countries can also enroll with its courses and trainings.

To make the things even better, PTLB has also started online bar examination coaching and training courses. Both cyber law and bar examination training and coaching courses can be enrolled by students and professionals from its online prototype.
