Cyber Ethics :
In
legal phraseology and prospectus are very
wide terms and very much intermingled. These
cannot be confined by words. Ethics and
morality in different circumstances connotes
varied and complex meanings. Each and everything
which is opposed to public policy, against
public welfare and which may disturb public
tranquility may be termed to be immoral
and unethical.

In
the past terms such as imperlism, colonialism,
apartheid, which were burning issues have
given way to cyber crime, hacking, 'cyber-ethics'
etc. Today in the present era we need to
evolve a 'cyber-jurisprudence' based on
which we can evaluate and criticize 'cyber-ethics'.
With
regard to the tehelka issue every
person might be in two frames of minds.
The opinion of every person may be quite
diversified as well as dubious. The issue
of 'cyber-ethics' with this present case
is full of ambiguity. This publication has
given birth to a number of issues but one-
Whether the floating of this news in cyber-space
is ethical or not.
The thelka has evoked the right to freedom
of belief thought and expression which are
basic principals envisaged in our constitution.
The freedom of press is also a guaranteed
right provided by our constitution. Further
the constitution
also guarantees right to information and
as such the citizens have the fundamental
right to know what is happening around them.
But on the other hand our constitution guarantees
the right to privacy, though not being an
expressed fundamental
right the courts in India have taken a lead
and have recognized it as a fundamental
right. Every man has some penumbral zones
of privacy, which cannot be infringed upon
even by the State. It can be further contended
that the right to life has also been infringed
upon as right to life envisages right to
life with human dignity. As this publication
has damaged the political person of the
leaders.
The thelka group cannot even rebut this
argument charged by them are from political
scenario. Further as the thelka group's
act has damaged the political image of many
leaders this in turn may even prove to be
a political death for those leaders
One may very easily say that the thelka
has acted in a very prudent and responsible
way by disclosing the whole drama on the
e-space. As a matter of principal there
is no doubt that a conflicts between a 'personal-interest'
and 'national-interest' undoubtedly the
national-interest should prevail. Thus the
thelka people were very appropriate in doing
so. But on the other hand it can be comprehended
that the thelka has tried to create a state
of political uncertainty and unstableness
there by threatening 'national-interest'.
Even the evidence produced by the thekla.com
is not
conclusive and there might be every possibility
that it might be fabricated. I am of the
opinion that this act done by the thelka
group is the height of irresponsibility
which is not expected of a responsible citizen.
Further there is a dire need for evolving
a code of Ethics on the Cyber-Space and
discipline
