Section 51 IT Act in Simple Words
Section 51 IT Act stands omitted, meaning an amending Act removed the section text from the Information Technology Act, 2000 so no operative rule remains under Section 51 IT Act. The Finance Act, 2017 (7 of 2017) omitted Section 51 IT Act with effect from 26 May 2017. Before omission, Section 51 IT Act bore the heading "Term of office, conditions of service, etc., of Chairperson and Members".
Section 51 IT Act belongs to Chapter X (Appellate Tribunal) of the Information Technology Act, 2000. Within Chapter X, Section 51 IT Act appears immediately after Section 50 IT Act and before Section 52 IT Act, both of which also stand omitted. Because the statute retains only the omission note and the former heading, Section 51 IT Act sets no rule on term of office or conditions of service today.
