IIT-I to develop tech translation research park
Indore: Indian Institute of Technology, Indore (IIT-I), is developing a Technology Translation Research Park (TTRP) with an aim to enhance digital health solutions and creating a seamless digital health ecosystem in the country. The advanced facility at IIT-I in digital healthcare to be set up under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS) will work to bridge the gap between urban and rural healthcare services, leveraging telemedicine , electronic health records (EHRs), artificial intelligence-driven diagnostics and personalised medicine and care. The institute received a nod from the department of science and technology and governing body of NMICPS led by Kris Gopalakrishnan, founder of Infosys, to upgrade IIT-I's technology innovation hub Drishti CPS Foundation into a TTRP with an outlay of Rs 250 crore for next three years in tranches. Of the total proposed amount Rs 52 crore has been received by the foundation. "The new TTRP comes as a great validation of the initiatives on digital healthcare that has been incubated in IIT-I. We look forward to extending the mandate of IIT-I Drishti CPS Foundation into the digital healthcare through this new TTRP," said IIT-I director professor Suhas S Joshi. IIT-Indore established the Drishti CPS Foundation in 2020, which has so far supported over 150 technology projects and startups with funds and mentoring. Drishti CPS Foundation CEO Aditya Vyas said, "The research park will cater to the growing need of the nation in creating a robust digital health infrastructure. Drishti CPS is developing a flagship unified human digital twin platform - CharakDT. The novel, systematic and scalable architecture of CharakDT allows a unique way of creating individual health models (twins) for each patient by aggregating contextual data from multifarious sources and implementing large-scale AI models across dimensions of organ physics, demography, diagnostic tools, and environment."

High Court quashes FIR against Infosys co-founder
Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court has quashed an FIR registered against Infosys co-founder Kris Go-palakrishnan and others under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. The Court termed the complaint 'an abuse of the process of law' and granted liberty to initiate criminal contempt proceedings against the complainant. Justice Hemant Chandangoudar, who passed the order on April 16, observed that the complaint was a 'vexatious attempt to harass the petitioners.' The FIR was based on a private complaint filed by D. Sanna Durgappa, a former faculty member of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), who was terminated in 2014 following an internal inquiry into sexual harassment allegations. The court noted that the termination was later converted into resignation, following a challenge before the High Court in 2015. As part of the settlement then, Durgappa had agreed to with-draw all complaints and legal proceedings against the institution and its representatives. Despite this, he proceeded to file two more FIRs, both of which were quashed in 2022 and 2023. The present FIR, the court observed, contained similar allegations and was an abuse of judicial process. Reacting to the judgement, Kris Gopalakrishnan said, 'I have full faith in our courts and the justice system. This judgment reaffirms that misuse of legal provisions has no place in a fair and just system. I am grateful that the High Court has seen through the false-hoods and upheld the truth.' The court further held that the allegations did not attract any offence under the SC/ST (Preven-tion of Atrocities) Act, pointing out that the matter was essentially civil in nature, but had been wrongly given a criminal colour. The High Court has also allowed Kris Gopalakrishnan and other petitioners to approach the Advocate General for permission to initiate criminal contempt proceedings against Durgappa.

Karnataka HC quashes FIR against Infosys co-founder, IISc director in SC/ST Act case; calls complaint 'vexatious'
BENGALURU: The Karnataka High Court has quashed the FIR registered against Infosys co-founder Kris Gopalakrishnan, Indian Institute of Science (IISc) director Prof Govindan Rangarajan and 14 others under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act based on a complaint filed by Dr D Sanna Durgappa, former professor of the Centre for Sustainable Technologies. Justice Hemant Chandangoudar passed the order recently while allowing the petition filed by Gopalakrishnan, chairman, Governing Council, IISc, and others, questioning the legality of the crime registered by the Sadashivanagar Police Station. The court granted liberty to the petitioners to file an appropriate petition before the Advocate General seeking permission to initiate criminal contempt proceedings against Durgappa. 'The present private complaint, which makes similar allegations except for the inclusion of additional accused Nos.16 and 17 (the advocates for the institution), who allegedly threatened the complainant to quit the service, is an abuse of process of law,' the court said and termed the filing of the third complaint as 'a vexatious attempt to harass the petitioners'. The court noted that it is clear that the allegations made against the petitioners do not constitute offences under the SC/ST Act. Durgappa was terminated for sexual harassment after a departmental inquiry. He challenged the termination before the court. The parties filed a joint memo, and as per the terms of the settlement, the termination was converted into resignation. He was entitled to all terminal benefits arising from the resignation. The court noted that Durgappa also agreed to withdraw all proceedings and complaints lodged with various authorities, such as the National Commission for SCs/STs, the additional DGP, directorate of civil rights enforcement, and the deputy superintendent of police, Civil Rights Cell. Despite this, he filed two similar complaints under Section 200 of the CrPC, the court said. The registration of the crime based on these complaints was challenged by some of the petitioners-accused before this court by filing two separate petitions.
