But Gujarat Police has continuously been slapping the law on people. AHMEDABAD: Gujarat Police , which is using artificial intelligence to trap traffic offenders, is jumping constitutional signals in merry ignorance.The tech-savvy police force uses an IT law rendered obsolete by the highest court of the land. On March 24, 2015, the Supreme Court had passed a judgment striking down Section 66A of Information Technology (IT) Act, holding it unconstitutional as the law hit the root of liberty and freedom of expression. Police had registered 20 cases when the law existed between February 5, 2009 and March 23, 2015 which has almost doubled to 37 after it was held null and void.It has been gathered through an RTI application dated December 17, 2018, that Gujarat Police booked 33 persons in 20 cases under Section 66A of the IT Act, which deals with punishment for sending offensive messages through communication services, between February 2009 and March 23, 2015, at eight police stations in Rajkot, Bharuch, Nadiad , Vadodara, Tapi and Morbi districts.But, since March 24, 2015, when a SC division bench comprising Justice J Chelameswar and Justice R F Nariman held the section null and void, Gujarat Police has arrested 43 persons in 37 cases.
