Today, On 28th APRIL, The Karnataka High Court quashed the FIR against Infosys Co-Founder Kris Gopalakrishnan, observing that it was “an abuse of the process of law.” The Court found no grounds to proceed with the criminal case filed against him.
The Supreme Court requested the Centre’s response to a petition challenging the use of derogatory caste names in official certificates. The petition argues these terms violate dignity and equality principles, perpetuating stigma against Scheduled Castes. The petitioners seek to replace offensive terms with less discriminatory alternatives in official documents.
