Email ID in another person’s name not identity theft, Allahabad HC rules
NEWDELHI: The Allahabad high court has stayed an FIR against two people accused of creating an email ID in another person's name and using it to send fake complaints, observing that merely creating an email ID in someone else's name does not, prima facie, amount to identity theft under Section 66-C of the Information Technology Act. The order was passed on September 1, 2026.
