Tech firm fined Rs 1 lakh for levelling allegations against TN govt official
CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has imposed a cost of Rs 1 lakh on Cognizant Technology Solutions Private Limited for levelling unsubstantiated 'serious allegations' against a top labour department official, a quasi-judicial officer, in connection with an order passed to set aside the termination of an employee of the firm. Justice AD Maria Clete passed the orders while dismissing the petitions filed by the subsidiary of the US-based tech firm challenging the order of the special joint commissioner of labour (JCL), who is the appellate authority. The JCL, by an order dated October 18, 2019, set aside the order of the firm issued on December 21, 2015 to terminate Sivakumar Krishnamurthy, an associate director of the company, from the service on the grounds of under-performance and causing loss to the firm. The JCL also ordered his reinstatement with back wages on an appeal filed by him under the TN Shops and Establishments Act, 1947. The matter was entangled in several litigations as Krishnamurthy filed petitions in the high court seeking to expedite the hearing and disposal, and later, for transferring the matter from the JCL concerned. After the JCL passed the orders, the tech firm moved the high court with petitions challenging the orders and levelled certain allegations and even questioned the official's integrity stating she had favoured the same person who sought transfer of the case. Justice Maria Clete remarked, 'If the allegations made by the petitioner (Cognizant) against the statutory appellate authority are to be taken at face value, it would render it virtually impossible for any authority to discharge its quasi-judicial functions.'

Delhi HC seeks Centre's reply on plea alleging unlawful data access in Patent Office
The Delhi High Court on Friday (May 30, 2025) directed the Centre to file its response to a plea by the All India Patent Officers' Welfare Association (AIPOWA), which seeks a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into alleged unlawful access of sensitive unpublished data in the country's patent and trademark offices by a private multinational company. 'What's going on in the Patent Office?' remarked Justice Sachin Datta at the outset of the hearing. The court noted that the plea raised a 'valid allegation' but suggested the matter could be pursued as a public interest litigation (PIL). However, counsel for the petitioners, advocate Gyanant Kumar Singh, clarified that the association members were serving officers in the same office and, therefore, could not declare that they had no personal interest in the matter — an essential requirement for filing a PIL. Taking the matter on record, the court observed in its order, 'It is alleged that a private multinational company has been given unbridled access to sensitive data without requisite checks and balance. Petitioner[s] seek that an appropriate investigation be conducted in the matter. Let a reply be filed.' The matter has been posted for further hearing on August 29. In its petition, AIPOWA has sought a probe into how sensitive, unpublished information related to pending patent and trademark applications was allegedly accessed by representatives of Kaizen International, a private multinational firm, without proper authorisation. The plea claimed that Kaizen is a multinational company with clients in various industries and fields 'where trade secrets and innovations are coveted assets.' It cautioned that access to data in patent and trademark offices by Kaizen 'may have compromised the functioning of Intellectual Property offices, requiring investigation and measures to tackle the fallouts.' The Association represents Group-A patent officers who perform quasi-judicial functions relating to the grant of patents. The Association said the office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trademarks (CGPDTM) initially denied, under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, the existence of any document with regard to work being executed by Kaizen. It was only after a Capacity Building Commission (CBC) report referred to Kaizen's role that the CGPDTM furnished a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) dated March 6, 2023. The MoU—signed by the CGPDTM, CBC, and the Centre for Effective Governance of Indian States (CEGIS) Foundation—mentioned coordination with the Kaizen team for 'process improvement.' The plea stated that while Kaizen International was not a party to the MoU, the agreement 'opened doors for it without any tendering process by stating,' adding that the MoU was signed by Controller General Unnat P. Pandit as the head of the CGPDTM without the requisite approval of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry.

Waqf board has right to auction agri land on lease, says HC
Bhopal/Jabalpur: A division bench of the MP high court said that the waqf board has the right to auction agricultural waqf land on lease while dismissing a petition challenging the auction process of agricultural land by the waqf board. The petition, filed by Amirt Azad Ansari and other litigants, challenged the auction of lease rights on agricultural waqf land by the waqf board. They argued that the auction notice was signed by the CEO of the waqf board, but the incumbent CEO is not a regular CEO, only an acting CEO, and she is not entitled to put the lease rights of the land on auction. Additionally, according to the circular of the religious trust and endowment department, the auction can only be conducted by the Mutvalli. The bench of Justice Vivek Agarwal and Justice Vivek Jain, however, held that Dr Farzana Ghazal, a professor of Urdu at Hamidia College in Bhopal, was appointed the CEO of the waqf board after delegating her services to the minority welfare department. The word 'Asthayi' (temporary) used in her appointment order has a context; it means she is appointed to the post for three years of her deputation and not that she is an acting CEO, as the petitioners sought to interpret. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo She is a Muslim and also a gazetted officer equivalent to the post of deputy secretary.
