 MOOT PROPOSITION
1. The Republic of Stan, is a developing nation which lies in the southern region
of Asia. The country has a rich history and has seen a huge upsurge in the area
of information technology in recent years. The Stanian Space Research
Organisation (SSRO) is the space agency of the Government of The Republic of
Stan headquartered in Periyana, a state in the southern part of the country, with
a vision to "harness space technology for national development", while pursuing
space science research and planetary exploration.

2. In March 2021, the SSRO, in the wake of the recent events of cyber attacks
on multiple websites of national importance, had decided to take extensive
measures to secure its own cyber systems. Thus, after a substantial upgrade of
its existing cyber security, it released a public notification announcing a reward
of 1,00,000 in its national currency to anybody who could find vulnerabilities in
their security mechanism. Those interested were required to fill an online form
hosted on a third party website and subsequently pay an online fee of 500 in the
national currency after which they were to be allotted a Unique Participant Code
(UPC) by way of which they would be identified and be able to claim the prize,
as the case may be. Thousands of people reportedly applied for the competition
but were unable to circumvent the Organisation’s security measures put into
place. The contest was subsequently announced closed on August 31st, 2021.

3. Among other participants, Tanvir Ahmad and Ramendra Singhal, first year
students at Stanian Institute of Cyber Security, had also applied for the
competition in the month of June, 2021 to try and find a loophole in SSRO’s
security. Although the upgraded system proved to be too foolproof for them and
they could not succeed in their attempt. However, they had continued to modify
their method of attacks and were expectant of a positive result on their end. On
the second Sunday of October 2021, the duo decided to give their old
Endeavour another shot and tried a multi-vector attack on the servers of SSRO.
One of their multiple modus operandi in this attack was to introduce a self
programmed virus through an e-mail which, when accessed, was programmed to
make its way into the servers of SSRO and facilitate the success of the multi-
vector attack, launched from the outside by the two.
4. This method of attack became successful and the duo gained access to
SSRO’s servers on the said date. However, once the breach was successful, the
virus began to behave in a manner not foreseen by the perpetrators of the attack.
It affected multiple websites hosted by the SSRO and began to make
innumerable copies of the extremely confidential data that had been housed
inside the servers. Tanvir Ahmad and Ramendra Singhal, monitoring this breach
from their end, noticed this unprecedented behavior of the virus and were
alarmed. Their test runs with the virus had only showed them that the virus was
capable of facilitating multi-vector attacks and taking down the websites hosted
on the infected server.

5. Faced with an unforeseen behavior of their program which they now knew
would land them in the midst of extremely dire circumstances, they sent out an
anonymous mail, addressed to the SSRO, containing the coding of the virus and
every other detail they thought would be helpful in terminating the attack.
However, because the servers at SSRO had been clogged, this message did not
get through until it was too late. Multiple websites hosted on the servers had
stopped showing up and the SSRO servers had become jammed. Following this,
an emergency response to the attack was triggered and the servers at SSRO shut
down to prevent further damage.

6. Following the reboot of the servers and the restoration of order, the mail
which had been sent anonymously by the two was received and tracked by way
of the IP address, which directed the Authorities to Tanvir Ahmad and
Ramendra Singhal, both of whom were subsequently arrested and charged under
Sections 66, 66F of the Information Technology Act, 2000 and Section 441 of
the Stanian Penal Code. The Ld. Sessions Court, upon perusing the facts and the
evidence on record, concluded that there was a clear lack of intention on the part
of the Accused and thus, they were acquitted under all of the charges labeled
against them.

7. The State filed an appeal against the Ld. Sessions Court’s verdict in the High
Court of Periyana. The High Court, in its judgement stated that the mere access
by the two of them was access without authorization and that the breach of
confidentiality of the files was deemed sufficient to find the two guilty under the
charged sections. The judgement of the Sessions Court was thus reversed and
Tanvir Ahmad and Ramendra Singhal were found guilty under Sections 66, 66F
of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and Section 441 of the Stanian Penal
Code. They have now filed an appeal before the Supreme Court of The Republic
of Stan.
 8. All the relevant laws of The Republic of Stan are pari materia to those of
India.
