Give the data of ozone depletion upto 2008?

You want the list of citations to any current paper on ozone depletion, as they will all have "data of ozone depletion" in them. As these require access to scientific journals, I'd suggest you get this from a good college library.

Why is CFC depletion of the ozone layer a theory and not a scientific law?

A law is a fundamental requirement of Nature, that is never violated. Science really has no "laws" any longer. All our previous "laws" are subject to experimental testing, so they have also become theories. Ones that are pretty close to laws are conservation of momentum (and from there conservation of energy), of spin, net production of entropy. A theory is a guess at a mechanism, that makes a prediction, and the prediction is challenged by experiment. Observations were made that CFC "fragments" were found in areas of low ozone concentration. The assumption was made that CFCs contributed to ozone depletion. CFCs were then tested in the lab to see if they: contributed to ozone depletion (they do), and were persistent (they are).


How ozone depletion benefits humans?

Ozone depletion does not benefit the humans in any ways. On the other hand it proves to a fatal global problem.
