Mangalore, June 22: Dr Emmanuel Lalith Kumar, Lecturer in History, SMS College, Brahmavar, who was dismissed from service on flimsy grounds has been ordered by the High Court of Karnataka to be reinstated with immediate effect.

The High Court upheld the order of the Education Appellate Tribunal of Udupi and rejected the writ petition of the Management of SMS College namely OSC Educational Society.

According to a press release from AMUCT, earlier the Education Appellate Tribunal had taken serious note of the dismissal without an enquiry by the Management.

The Tribunal had observed that the dismissal order is against the principles of natural justice.

AMUCT President Ummappa Poojary and Amuct General Secretary Dr Denis Fernandes have demanded that Prof Emmanuel be immediately reinstated by the Management with all service benefits and required compensation and serious agitation will be planned if the Court order is not obeyed.

Mangaluru: Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy C H has warned of strict action against individuals spreading rumours and attempting to create insecurity within the Muslim community and fuel hatred between Hindus and Muslims through social media.

Referring to a recent social media post alleging that police personnel had entered a masjid premises to check whether beef was being cooked, the commissioner said miscreants were attempting to push their communal agenda. 

“A group of people, both from Mangaluru and abroad, are trying hard to spread rumours. For the past 10 days, they have been attempting to rake up old issues, highlight routine matters as controversies, or fabricate news altogether,” he said.

He reiterated that any such attempts to disturb communal harmony would invite legal action. “Cases will be registered and the accused will be brought to book,” he stated.
