Fake profiles on social media have become increasingly common, often used for impersonation, harassment, fraud, or spreading misinformation. Indian law treats the creation and misuse of fake accounts as a serious offence when it affects identity, privacy, or causes harm.

Impersonating another person online may attract liability under provisions relating to identity theft and cheating. Creating a fake profile using someone’s name, photo, or personal details without consent can amount to misrepresentation and violation of privacy.

If a fake account is used to harass, threaten, or defame someone, additional offences relating to criminal intimidation, defamation, and cyber harassment may apply. Posting obscene or morphed images further increases criminal liability under cyber and penal laws.

Victims can report such profiles to the social media platform for removal and also file a complaint with the cyber crime cell or local police. Authorities may seek account details, IP addresses, and digital records to trace the person behind the fake profile.

The legal consequences depend on intent, extent of harm, and nature of misuse. While parody or anonymous accounts are not illegal by themselves, impersonation and harmful use of fake profiles can lead to criminal and civil action

In the contemporary world, AI has already begun speeding up tasks such as legal research , Managing case files , scheduling hearings and meetings , analyzing large documents , also works as a data analyst . Keeping in note that all of these are the supporting role which an AI provides  to the judge , to make their work easier and improve consistency.    The major problem with giving complete authority to an AI judge is that artificial intelligence is trained on past data, including previous judgments. If those judgments contain biases—such as social, class, or gender bias it is quite po...
