Explanation:

CAT was set up in 2009 by the Centre following huge number of complaints reaching local courts pertaining to Internet fraud and it is defunct since 2011.
Cyber Appellate Tribunal has been established under the Information Technology Act under the aegis of Controller of Certifying Authorities (C.C.A.).
This Tribunal is headed by a Chairperson who is appointed by the Central Government by notification as provided under Section 49 of the IT Act 2000.
The tribunal has been vested with the same powers as a civil court; the cases requiring punishment instead of financial penalty are transferred to the magistrate concerned.
