The Impact and Implementation of the European Union's Cyber Resilience Act and its Relevance in the Indian Context


The European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is expected to significantly influence global cybersecurity standards, much like the GDPR did for data privacy. While primarily affecting the EU, the CRA’s impact extends globally, particularly to countries like India, where it has several important implications for businesses and regulatory frameworks. For Indian companies that export digital products and services to the EU, the CRA presents both challenges and opportunities. Compliance with the CRA’s stringent cybersecurity standards, including long-term security updates and vulnerability management, will require significant investment. However, this also offers Indian businesses the chance to innovate in cybersecurity, potentially positioning themselves as leaders in a global market increasingly focused on security.


The CRA could also inspire India’s evolving regulatory landscape. As India develops its cybersecurity laws, such as the Personal Data Protection Bill and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the CRA could serve as a model for enhancing India’s digital infrastructure resilience. Adopting similar standards would not only protect Indian consumers but also align India’s regulations with global benchmarks, ensuring that Indian products remain competitive internationally.


Moreover, aligning with global cybersecurity standards, as proposed by the CRA, would strengthen India’s position as a safe and secure digital economy. This alignment would facilitate smoother trade relations with the EU and enhance India’s reputation in the global market. Additionally, stronger cybersecurity standards could deepen economic and strategic ties between India and the EU, promoting collaboration on digital resilience.


In conclusion, the EU’s Cyber Resilience Act presents a critical opportunity for India to enhance its cybersecurity framework and protect its growing digital economy. By adapting to global standards like the CRA, India can secure its digital infrastructure, foster innovation, and strengthen its position in the global market. This alignment will be crucial as India continues to expand its digital footprint and engage with the international community on issues of cybersecurity and digital resilience.

Framing of Charges in Criminal Proceedings: An Overview and Remedies Available to the Accused for Dismissal (with BNSS Provisions)

Introduction In criminal jurisprudence, the framing of charges represents a critical stage of a trial. This process is a formal declaration by the court outlining the specific accusations made against the accused. It ensures that the accused knows the charges they face, which enables them to prepare an appropriate defense. The objective is to maintain fairness and transparency within the legal framework. The recent enactment of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) introduces certain new provisions that aim to make the process more efficient and less cumbersome.     What is the Framing of Charges?   Framing of charges occurs after the investigation is complete and the prosecution has submitted its charge sheet to the court.

This marks the beginning of the formal trial, where the accused can plead guilty or contest the charges.   Under the new framework of the BNSS, pro...

Ignorance of Law is No Excuse: A Detailed Analysis with Reference to Recent Supreme Court Judgments

Introduction The Legal maxim " Ignorantia juris non excusat” or “Ignorance of law is no excuse” is a fundamental principle in Indian jurisprudence, ensuring that ignorance of the law does not exempt individuals or entities from legal liability. This doctrine is crucial for the maintenance of the rule of law, ensuring uniform application and enforcement. Concept The principle that ignorance of the law does not excuse wrongdoing has its origins in Roman law and is firmly embedded in common law traditions. The assumption is that laws are publicly accessible and that all individuals have a responsibility to inform themselves about the legal requirements governing their actions. In India, this principle is a cornerstone of the legal system, upheld consistently across various legal forums, including the Supreme Court. Recent Supreme Court Judgments A notable reaffirmation of this principle came in the Supreme Court's decision in M/s. Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. v. Union of ...
