Global War on Drugs:Failed!
A committee headed by very prominent world leaders have submitted a report saying that the global war on drugs have been a failure. The report also further said that instead of incriminating the drug users they must be given proper rehabilitation and care. It also controversially recommended the legalization of some drugs. The report said the global war on drugs was nothing but a failure and has been costing millions of taxpayers money and thousands of death. The report mainly criticized US’ policy on drugs and asked it to think with an alternative but empirical approach to the issue. It also urged The US to follow rules which are compatible with health care and human rights.

Children born out of living relationship are not illegitimate-Supreme Court
Considering a new approach into the living relationship of the people and the legitimacy of the children born out of that relationship, the apex court made a declaration that those children should not be regarded as illicit. The court also adds up in its ruling that these kids undoubtedly possess the right to inherit the property of either of their parents. The bench of Justice P. Sathasivam and B.S chauhan stated that a man and a women living together for a certain period of years under the same roof must be presumed to be husband and wife and children born to them in that relationship are not at all illegal or unlawful. The bench again stated that the law presumes in favour of marriage and against concubine and the relationship is regarded to be marriage as per law, if the partners keep their bonding alive for an elongated period of time.
Google Accounts of US officials hacked by Chinese Hackers
Hackers from china have compromised many google accounts of top US officials and other political leaders from Asian countries. Google made a statement regarding the issue saying that their own security systems have not been breached but individual accounts have been hacked through fraud. Google also notified the respective members and their governments regarding the breach. The matter becomes sensitive as these officials handle top secret information on classified subjects. The passwords were acquired through a internet practice called ‘spear phising’ which misguides an account user to provide his account information to the hacker who had created a page similar to that of google. Analyst say it is very hard to find if it was authorized by governments or done by individual hackers. The difference between the both would be that if it was carried out by a government it will not be considered as a cyber crime but cyber espionage. This comes in the wake of a statement issued by the White House which said an act of cyber terrorism will be met with real time military consequences.
High Court issues notice to centre regarding over crowding in Tihar
Delhi HC had issued a notice to the centre and the city governments upon a PIL seeking a policy to reduce the number of inmates who are under trials for petty offenses. The PIL said the most percentage of inmates are under trials and this has lead to the over crowding of the high security prison. The petition was filed asking for a policy framework upon such issues like releasing of prisoner who are imprisoned for offenses such as cheating and forgery on bail. The petition also said that the constitutional rights of these under trials are being violated and is an injustice to such persons being imprisoned based on administration of laws and rules. The court also sent a notice to the Director General of the Jail to file a response addressing the issue. The case becomes more interesting as the lawyer who filed the petition Vijay Aggarwal also represents some of the accused from the recent 2G scam who are also imprisoned in Tihar Jail. Many question are raised bringing up the case at this juncture than before when over crowding was always a problem.
