December 18, 2011

Mangalore, December 17: The Beary's group, well known for its real estate and educational projects across the city is now venturing into the knowledge based industry of Information Technology. The Bearys Global InfoTech Ltd(BGIL), an IT company which will be focusing on projects both international and domestic is all set to take off at the year's end.

Speaking at a news conference Chief Managing Director Syed Mohammed Beary gave a glimpse of the kind of services they will be offering. The company will be using networking applications like RFID and cloud based applications to offer services to schools, colleges and hospitals. It would create more jobs in the city as bigger metros are becoming more costly to live in.

The CEO of the BGIL Praveen Kalbhavi said, “Our business plan will focus mainly on IT services and platform solutions. The platform solutions will give smart remedies to healthcare, retail, real estate and telecom. The countries we are focusing are mainly in Europe, US and the Middle East. For schools our technology can be used to track students right from their home to school while they are travelling. We are also working on ways to make the supply of medicines in hospitals easy. The BGIL already has connections with major IT firms like Microsoft. They will also be providing back end support through a primary development center which now has 40 employees. Real estate projects can be monitored through their innovative solutions. Since the firm has a well-connected network within itself it can offer solutions across industries”

Director of BGIL, Mohammed Jarood said,” We will be using cloud based technology which is basically a server hosted on the internet. The database is accessed through the internet and our server is maintained by amazon.com. We have also partnered with telecom giant Motorola to use our RFID application. Although we had this idea in our minds for 6 years we have only now been able to put it into real time usage.”

He said that the company has been operational since 6 months and already has a clientele from foreign countries like Finland and the US. This firm will create opportunities for local population as many women employees prefer to work closer to home rather than being in metro cities. Projects like tracking systems, cloud based technologies and networking applications will be the focus area.

Joint Directors of the firm Hanif Mohammed and Shihab Kalandar were also present on this occasion.

HC refuses to quash probe against Mangaluru WhatsApp admin over offensive posts

News Network

February 1,2026

Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court has refused to quash an investigation against a WhatsApp group administrator accused of allowing the circulation of obscene and offensive images depicting Hindutva politicians and idols in 2021.

Justice M Nagaprasanna observed that, prima facie, the ingredients of the offence under Section 295A of the Indian Penal Code were made out. “The offence under Section 295A of the IPC is met to every word of its ingredient, albeit prima facie,” the judge said.

The petitioner, Sirajuddin, a resident of Belthangady taluk in Dakshina Kannada district, had challenged the FIR registered against him at the CEN (Cyber, Economics and Narcotics) police station, Mangaluru, for offences under Section 295A of the IPC and Section 67 of the Information Technology Act. Section 295A relates to punishment for deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage the religious feelings of any class of citizens.

According to the complaint filed by K Jayaraj Salian, also a resident of Belthangady taluk, he received a WhatsApp group link from an unknown source and was added to the group after accessing it. The group reportedly had six administrators and around 250 participants, where obscene and offensive images depicting Hindu deities and certain political figures were allegedly circulated repeatedly.

Sirajuddin was arrested in connection with the case and later released on bail on February 16, 2021. He argued before the court that he was being selectively targeted, while other administrators—including the creator of the group—were neither arrested nor investigated. He also contended that the Magistrate could not have taken cognisance of the offence under Section 295A without prior sanction under Section 196(1) of the CrPC.

Rejecting the argument, Justice Nagaprasanna held that prior sanction is required only at the stage of taking cognisance, and not at the stage of registration of the crime or during investigation.

The judge noted that the State had produced the entire investigation material before the court. “A perusal of the material reveals depictions of Hindu deities in an extraordinarily obscene, demeaning and profane manner. The content is such that its reproduction in a judicial order would itself be inappropriate,” the court said, adding that the material, on its face, had the tendency to outrage religious feelings and disturb communal harmony.

Observing that the case was still at the investigation stage, the court said it could not interdict the probe at this juncture. However, it expressed concern that the investigating officer appeared to have not proceeded uniformly against all administrators. The court clarified that if the investigation revealed the active involvement of any member in permitting the circulation of such content, they must also be proceeded against.

“At this investigative stage, any further observation by this Court would be unnecessary,” the order concluded.
