The official Instagram handle of Rosier Foods shared a photo featuring Aman Gupta and Gaurav Taneja. The caption read: “We have been slow-churning traditions for a while.

HC sets aside rejection of US firm’s patent plea over lack of reasons, orders fresh decision

Published by Parlour News

Mumbai: The Bombay High Court has quashed orders denying a patent to US-based Huntington Alloys Corporation, holding that the authorities’ conclusion that the invention was linked to atomic energy was unjustified and could not be sustained in law. Bombay High Court (HT Photo) The company had moved the court against a November 2020 decision of the deputy controller of patents and a subsequent April 2021 order of the Department of Atomic Energy, both of which refused its application for the investigation of an “Ultra Supercritical Boiler Header Alloy and Method of Preparation”. At the core of the dispute was whether the invention fell within the restricted domain of atomic energy under the Patents Act. The firm maintained that its technology—an alloy developed for high-temperature boiler systems—had no nexus with atomic energy and was wrongly classified. The proposed alloy, comprising nickel, cobalt and chromium, is designed for use in boiler header pipes operating under extreme temperatures. The company argued that its composition enhances durability, strength and weldability, making it suitable for long-term industrial use. During the hearing, …

Self-harm scars valid ground for CAPF rejection, rules Calcutta High Court

Published by Parlour News

4 min readNew DelhiUpdated: Apr 2, 2026 05:01 PM IST Trigger Warning: This article mentions self-harm. The Calcutta High Court recently upheld the disqualification of a woman candidate from the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) recruitment, ruling that the presence of unexplained, 13 parallel “self-inflicted” cut marks is a valid ground for rejection. Justice Amrita Sinha emphasised that recruitment for combat forces requires “cent percent” mental and physical stability, and any doubt regarding a candidate’s psychological resilience, especially concerning potential self-harm, is sufficient to deny appointment. The high court was hearing a plea by a candidate seeking a direction for a psychiatric evaluation to challenge her rejection on medical grounds. “The petitioner was participating in the recruitment for the combat forces. Any candidate who, according to the authority, is not mentally fit and stable, cannot be engaged in a combat force,” the Calcutta High Court said in its March 30 order.  ‘13 parallel cut marks’ The Calcutta High Court found that the petitioner had not disclosed how 13 parallel cut marks were found in her …
