Ringing cell phone lead to jail sentences

This really does seem quite extreme... an Indian employee of the state education department has been sentenced to three days in jail and fined US$34 for allowing his phone to ring when attending court, causing disruption. And he wasn't the only one, during his sentencing, another phone ring was heard, this time owned by a police officer, who was charged with the same jail sentence and fine. [Cellular News]
