Currently, forensic crime scene investigators face challenges because of the diplomatic acts of the offenders. The actors are very cautious in leaving their evidence during crime operations and depositing their statements during interrogations. Researchers have shown that the investigators need to have the basic knowledge in science, engineering, and medicine fitted for legal or public argumentation. The major impediment to an investigation is the loss or removal of a piece/pieces of evidence from the crime scene. The reason is that human traffic at a crime scene is likely for items to move, misplace, or steal. Only a knowledgeable investigator can handle such critical situations efficiently and conclude the presentation in the legal system. The present case report is an example of such scenario wherein four persons were admitted to a government hospital with explosion injuries, investigated in Tamilnadu, India. They had alleged that when they were walking in an agricultural agricultural land, four persons (as named by the injured) had thrown bombs on them hidden behind a haystack. A case was registered u/s attempted murder and explosives act, and the named four persons from the village were brought to the police station for further investigation. Immediately many villagers have assembled near the police station and demanded the release of these four persons from the police custody since they were innocents and not at all committed the offense. The District Superintendent of Police directed the forensic crime scene investigator (CSI), the corresponding author (hereafter as TN), to assist the police investigation. Accordingly, the CSI immediately rushed first to the hospital with the Superintendent of Police and observed the injured and inquired them and the medical doctor who treated them and recorded their statements. TN then visited the alleged bomb blasting area and no possibility of explosion observed in the said site and finally opined that the allegation of bomb thrown on the wounded was false. The author uncovered the perplexed act of wounded forensically and the police arrested the wounded for crime act concealment and treated under police custody. Later the wounded were prosecuted and finally sentenced by the Honourable Judge, accepted the forensic findings.

Inefficiency of the Code of Ethics for Judges in Indonesia
This qualitative article aims to examine the enforcement of the code of ethics and code of conduct for judges in Indonesia by the Judicial Commission as an external supervisor with the Supreme Court as the internal supervisor. The sub-optimal relationship between the two institutions is clear from the high number of reports of violations of the Code of Ethics and the Code of Conduct of Judges and the low rate of implementation of the recommendations of the Judicial Commission in the supervision of judges at the Supreme Court. There is an overlap between internal supervision at the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court does not consider the Judicial Commission violations. According to the Judicial Commission, violations of the Code of Ethics and Judicial Code of Conduct are violations. As a result, public reports about violations of the judge's code of ethics and the recommendations of the Judicial Commission were ineffective, and breaches of the judges' code of ethics continued. The cause is the Judicial Commission's inefficiency and the tendency of protecting the corps of judges by the Supreme Court. To redress this, it is necessary to assign a single task and authority to the Judicial Commission and amend the Judicial Commission Law to create judges with integrity and dignity.

The digitization of the world economy has fundamentally transformed the nature of international trade and is creating new challenges for the global trading system. There is an intense discussion at the rule-making institutions like World Trade Organisation (WTO)/Regional Trade Agreements on trade rules and their role in addressing the challenges of digital trade in world economy. The rule shaping at multilateral and regional level creates centripetal and centrifugal forces for making a base for rule making at world level. Rapid changes in rule making coupled with robust trade and commerce in digital economy is creating ambiguous, uncertain and biased benchmarks at global level, which will pose significant trade challenges for developing economies like India to cope up with them. In this context, this paper attempts to analyse the developments on E-commerce rule-making in ever-evolving multilateral/regional trading system and inherent structural challenges that participating countries like India have to face in framing new rules on E-commerce at the World Trade Organisation. In the same vein, it must be mentioned that two categories of rules-Substantive and Adjective, currently exist in the current trade regime and it is significant to analyse how both the type of rules contribute in creating a conducive environment for International Electronic Commerce Trade Regime. In this light, the paper attempts to elucidate upon this contemporary rule regime while at the same time attempting to analyse the emerging challenges for E-commerce trade rules in context of bilateral, regional and multilateral trade agreements including the stance of India’s policy makers.
