The notice warned that breach would be interpreted as a rejection or inability to present a defense. In addition, he declared that in case of non -compliance, legal procedures would advance in absence.
The NCCIA warned that the lack of appearance could result in an action under section 174 of the Pakistan Criminal Code, which deals with non -assistance in response to an order of a public servant. In that case, said the agency, the arrest could be justified.
The Federal Government formally established the NCCIA last year, replacing the cybercrime wing of the Federal Research Agency. The new body had had the task of handling a growing number of online crimes.
At the time of the creation of the NCCIA, the Minister of Information, Attaullah Tarar, had declared that the authority was established to address issues such as online harassment, erroneous information and the propagation of anti-state propaganda, while safeguarding the digital rights of citizens.
