Mangalore, June 23: Karnataka High Court on Wednesday dismissed a writ petition filed by S Thippeswamy, Associate Professor, Department of Bio-Sciences challenging an order of Mangalore University to give him compulsory retirement with terminal benefits.

A single bench court headed by Justice Anand Byra Reddy upheld the decision taken by the Syndicate of Mangalore University to take strict disciplinary action against Prof Thippeswamy.

The University had terminated Thippeswamy, who was facing a sexual misconduct charge, from service.

The Registrar (administration) of the University K Chinnappa Gowda had issued an order after the Syndicate of the university in its April 13, 2011 meeting resolved to order for the “compulsory retirement” of S Thippeswamy.

The order copy of the April 15, 2011 said: “Dr Thippeswamy is ordered to have compulsorily retired from the services of the university.”

Last year two women researcher scholars - one from Delhi and the other from Mangalore - at the University had quit their research projects, accusing the professor of sexual harassment and had lodged a complaint against him.

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.
