WhatsApp will shut down if forced to break encryption: Company tells Delhi HC
WhatsApp told the court that it has more than 400 million users in India and they use the app largely for its privacy features.
In a major setback to Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, the Delhi High Court on Friday refused to quash the disproportionate assets case against him and his wife.
The court also dismissed his plea challenging an FIR by the CBI against him and vacated the Himachal Pradesh High Court's order restraining the CBI from arresting, interrogating or filing charge sheet against him and his wife.
The Himachal Pradesh High Court on December 2, 2015, had also dismissed the petitions filed by Singh, his wife Pratibha and son Vikramaditya, challenging the orders of the income tax department to reassess their revised returns.
