The petition, submitted by advocate Pradeep Kumar Yadav, highlights numerous incidents where judges themselves have fallen victim to cybercrime.
One notable case cited is that of retired Chief Justice of India RM Lodha, who was duped of 1 lakh in 2019 after receiving fraudulent emails from an account impersonating another retired Supreme Court judge requesting "emergency funds." Another alarming incident involved a scammer posing as Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, who sought ₹500 for an "urgent meeting" while claiming to be stranded in Connaught Place.
The petition also references a recent case in which a cybercrime gang impersonated Central Bureau of Investigation officers and created a fake virtual courtroom. This elaborate scheme led to the defrauding of Vardhman Group head SP Oswal, who lost 7 crore.
