Whether you’re a student, a professional, or just curious about what’s happening in the legal world, this page gives you a quick snapshot.
Key Highlights of the Kris Gopalakrishnan Case
Infosys co‑founder Kris Gopalakrishnan and former IISc director Balaram are now facing charges under the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act. A tribal member, Sanna Durgappa, filed a complaint saying they were discriminated against and unfairly dismissed from IISc after false harassment claims. The case revolves around whether the institutions showed bias against SC/ST community members. It’s a high‑profile example of how the law is being used to protect marginalized groups and hold powerful people accountable.
Why does this matter? First, it signals that the SC/ST Act can reach even the biggest names in tech and academia. Second, it puts a spotlight on systemic bias that many claim exists in elite institutions. If the court finds merit in the complaint, it could lead to stricter compliance measures across universities and corporations. That’s a big deal for anyone who cares about fairness in the workplace.
