Jack Palmer

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.

Jack Palmer said in the lawsuit filed on Thursday with a New Jersey court that he had been discriminated against because he flagged that the company was flouting US visa rules.

A former Infosys Ltd employee responsible for starting a US investigation into the company's visa practices has filed another lawsuit demanding damages for alleged wrongful termination.

Tiger Woods, a 14-time major champion chasing the all-time record 18 majors won by Jack Nicklaus, withdrew from last week's Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, where he has won eight times including last year, due to nagging back pain.

Tiger Woods, a 14-time major champion chasing the all-time record 18 majors won by Jack Nicklaus, withdrew Tuesday due to back spasms from the Arnold Palmer Invitational, his typical fine warm-up event for next month's Masters and one that he has won eight times.

World number one Tiger Woods won his 14th and most recent major crown at the 2008 US Open but remains four shy of matching the career major win mark of Jack Nicklaus.

Infosys, India's second-largest software services provider, rejected allegations by an American job applicant that she was not hired for a position in the United States because of her nationality.

McGraw-Hill, parent of credit ratings agency Standard & Poor's Corp, which was hit with a $5 billion fraud lawsuit by the US government last week, fired back on Tuesday, saying it doesn't believe the government has a case.

In a major boost to Infosys, former employee Satya Dev Tripuraneni has withdrawn his harassment lawsuit against the tech major following successful mediation of the dispute.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.
