An Ordeal (Reiribution) in Hindu Law: “People of certain town had an infallible
method of judging those accused of crime. They heated the blade of an axe until it was
red-hot, ‘Then they asked the accused man whether he has guilty of erime or not?
When he pleaded that he was not guilty they order them to hold the blade, If he were
ilty of the crime, his hands would be burnt by the heat of the axe, So they would
execute him, If he wer
nocent of the erime, his hands would remain unhurt, Se they
would release him. ‘The explanation of this method is this, the guilty man by pleadingthat he Was not guilty. was covering himself with falsehood and falsehood offers no
protection from heat. The innocent man by contrast, was covering himself with truth:

US intemet company and Prazitian law enforcement authorities. police in Sie Paulo
have detained the regional vice-president of Face book for failing to provide
information requested by a criminal investigation. Diego Dzodan wes taken into
custody at Garulhos airport on Tuesday and is now being questioned about Face book
subsidiary Whats App’s alleged non-compliance with a court order.
to the court, Whats App had been ordered for more than a month to reveal
lating to a suspected drug-trallicking ring. Afier the company denied three
related requests by federal police. the judge first imposed a daily fine on the US
company of 50,000 reais (£9,000), then a daily penalty of Im reais (£180,000), andfinally ordered the arrest “In the face of repeated non-compliance, the judge Marcel

Face book called the police action “extreme and disproportionate”. It says Whats App
which was acquired by Face book in 2014 and has no staff based in Brazil ~ operates
independently so Dzodan should not be held responsible. Moreover, it notes that the

200 million population, In a separate case in December. a court issued an injunetion
for Whats App to be shyt down for 48 hours for twice failing to comply with its
orders. That injunetion was overtumed alter an outcry by users and an intervention by

BBC. 29 February 2016): Image copyright AFP/Getty Images- Image caption Apple
has resisted attempts to be made to unlock an iPhone. A judge in the United States has
ruled that Apple cannot be foreed to give the FBI access to a locked iPhone in a case
that echoes an ongoing legal battle. The judge in Brooklyn denied a motion by the US
Justice Department to get Apple to unlock a phone in a drug case. In an unrelated case,
the FBI wants Apple to unlock the iPhone of Syed Rizwan Farook, who killed 1+
people in San Bernardino, California in December. But Apple has resisted, calling that
demand "dangerous" and “unprecedented”. The ruling in Brooklyn on Monday centers
‘on the same point as the San Bernardino case:
The two court cases are not linked - the magistrate in San Bernardino doesn’t have to
pay any attention to the ruling and remarks rom the New York judge. But Apple feels
the decision in New York gives added strength to its position. A senior Apple
spokesman told reporters in a conference call that he was confident the San Bernardino
judge would carefully analyze the New York ruling. Most promising for Apple is thereason for which Judge Orenstein threw out the New York ease. He said he was not at

force Apple to comply. The same law is being used in San Bernardino. The All Writs
Act is designed to give law enforcement powers not specifically addressed in other

which the FBI said contains crucial information. Apple's CEO Tim Cook said the
request was “an overreach by the US government” and risked giving authorities “the
power to reach into anyone's deviee to capture their data". The company asked a court
to overturn the ruling, The same Act from 1789 that wes used by the FBI in the San
Bernardino request was applied in the Brooklyn case. But Judge James Orenstein said
the Act was not applicable in this case, adding that it was not right to impose “on
Apple the obligation to assist the government's investigation against its will” The US
Justice Depariment said it planned to appeal against the Brooklyn ruling.
