High Court Judge, Justice B.V.L.N. Chakravarthy, has asked the legal aid defense counsels to gain knowledge of digital technology as electronic evidence has become vital in cyber offences.
The judge participated in the State-wide orientation programme for Legal Aid Defense Counsels (LADC), organised by the AP State Legal Services Authority (APSLSA) and the National Legal Services Authority (NLSA) here on Sunday.
Speaking on the occasion, Justice Chakravarthy said the role of defense counsels was important and asked them to go through the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 and the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000.
