Palmer And Infosys

After Infosys, IT giant Wipro is now facing a lawsuit in the US from a former employee, who has alleged violation of local labour codes and issues with wage settlements.

Jay B Palmer, whose visa fraud case against Infosys had led to a $34 million visa fraud settlement -- the largest in US history -- alleged that no matter who is chosen, no matter what their skill set is, H-1B workers are coming to the US and they have to learn the needed skills once they get here.

Former Infosys employee Jack Palmer, who brought the whistle-blower lawsuit in Alabama in February 2011, will be "amply and justly rewarded," John Bales, the US attorney for the district of Texas, said in a news conference in Plano on Wednesday.

In a major boost to Infosys, former employee Satya Dev Tripuraneni has withdrawn his harassment lawsuit against the tech major following successful mediation of the dispute. Infosys, India's second largest software services outsourcer, said the settlement enables the company to avoid the costs and distraction associated with protracted litigation.

IT stocks outperformed other groups of stocks on the back of gains in Infosys. The next level for Nifty is 5,480-5,500 even as 5,350 remains a very strong support for now. Indian m...
