Chief Justice of India Surya Kant says the judiciary responds proactively to emerging fraudulent schemes such as “digital arrest” scams, rather than waiting for Parliament to act. He frames this as an approach to address fast-evolving forms of fraud that exploit legal and procedural confusion.
Both outlets report the CJI’s statement without providing detailed case specifics, including whether any particular investigation, ruling, or policy action has been taken in relation to digital arrest scams. The emphasis in the reporting is on the judiciary’s role in responding to new threats within existing institutional mechanisms. One outlet highlights the broader pattern of judicial action, while the other reiterates that the judiciary’s approach does not depend on legislative steps. In both accounts, the central point is that courts move to confront these scams as they emerge.
Overall, the coverage focuses on the rationale and stance—proactive judicial engagement—while differing only in wording about how the judiciary’s actions relate to Parliament’s responsibilities.
