Kochi, Nov 24 () The <keyword id="73082" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kerala-government">Kerala government</keyword> on Tuesday assured the High Court here that no FIRs would be launched on the basis of the amendment brought to the Police Act, which has triggered a political storm across the country. The government gave the assurance while a division bench, comprising Chief Justice <keyword id="1764950" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="S-Manikumar">S Manikumar</keyword> and Justice Shaji P Chaly was considering a batch of petitions, challenging the <keyword id="148737" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Constitutional-validity">constitutional validity</keyword> of an amendment to the Police Act brought by the state's ruling CPI(M)-led LDF government. "No coercive action will be taken on the basis of the newly inserted Section 118A in the <keyword id="130129" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kerala-police">Kerala Police</keyword> Act, 2011, which has been put on hold," the Additional Advocate General informed the court. When the court pointed out that the ordinance has been issued, the government assured that no FIRs would be launched on the basis of the newly incorporated amendment. The court recorded the government submission and adjourned the matter for Wednesday for consideration. The amendment made it mandatory for providing for up to five years jail term to those making defamatory social media posts. BJP Kerala state unit chief K Surendran and RSP leader Shibu Baby John on Monday filed separate pleas in the High Court,challenging the constitutional validity of the amendment In his plea, Surendran sought to declare the newly inserted Section 118A as unconstitutional, void and inoperative and to strike down the same. He submitted that the <keyword id="3224428" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="New-provisions">new provisions</keyword> "curtails the freedom of speech and expression conferred under the Constitution of India". Noting that even positive criticism or opinion of expression could be interpreted to be an offence under the provision, he alleged that "this is against the basic principle of the criminal justice system. In their Public Interest Litigations, RSP leaders Shibu Baby John, N K Premachandran and A A Azeez sought to declare Section 118A as unconstitutional since it is "violative of Articles 14, 19 (1) (a) and 21 of the Constitution of India." They submitted that Section 118A suffers from inherent and incurable vagueness. Noting that expressions like "humiliating", "threatening" and "abusing" are not defined, they submitted that leaving such expressions to the subjective interpretation of individuals meant that even diligent and conscientious citizens cannot know with certainty whether their acts of expressions could run afoul of Section 118A. They submitted that offences under the section have been made cognizable. So the subjective personal views and unguided interpretation by individual police officials, who are not trained to exercise judicial functions on whether a particular act constitutes an offence under Section 118A or not would decide whether serious consequences such as arrest follow. Besides Surendran and Shibu Baby John, the court also received a batch of petitions challenging the controversial amendment to the Police Act. The government has put on hold the amendment as the law triggered a political storm across the country, with many describing the measure as an assault on freedom of expression and media.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container float_right click-to-enlarge"><div class="image on-image"><a title_source="YouTube/The National" title_caption="A Signs waitress uses sign language with a customer." class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/53e1362f6da811985751b1c4-960/signs-restaurant.jpg"></a>YouTube/The NationalA Signs waitress uses sign language with a customer.</div></div>Anjan Manikumar tells CBC News that he got the idea for <a href="http://signsrestaurant.ca/">Signs Restaurant</a>, an establishment that employs 50 deaf servers, when he was a waiter to a deaf customer who ordered by pointing at items on the menu.
"I felt he wasn't getting the service he deserved," Manikumar says. "He wasn't getting the personal touch."
So <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anjanmanikumar">Manikumar</a>, who has an MBA and 10 years of experience in the food industry, set out to create a restaurant where non-deaf customers would have to adapt to a deaf environment in a fun and novel way.
At Signs, which opened in Toronto on July 31, customers use American Sign Language illustrations in the menu to interact with their deaf servers. Here's a page on how to indicate how you'd like your food cooked or if you have a food allergy:

If it gets too difficult, customers can always cheat by pointing.
The latest data available on deaf unemployment in Canada is from 1998 and reports that 37.5% of deaf Canadians are unemployed. The <a href="http://www.cad.ca/employment_and_employability.php">Canadian Association of the Deaf</a> said in 2012 that "the unemployment rate for deaf people is unacceptably high," due mostly to inflexible and insensitive work environments.
"We want to create awareness for the hearing community that the deaf community has the ability to do anything and everything," manager Rachel Shemue tells CBC News.
According to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPgh5Yk2HaY">The National</a>, more than 200 deaf people applied for jobs. Of the 50 hired, most had no prior restaurant experience.
Mehdi Safavi landed a job as a waiter, the first full-time job he's ever had. "It's a deaf environment where hearing people can come in and experience our world and our culture, so it's really amazing," he tells <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPgh5Yk2HaY">The National</a>.
We first learned of Signs from business guru Seth Godin. It remains to be seen if the restaurant will succeed after the initial hype dies down, but Godin believes the hiring strategy is much more than a cheap gimmick.
He <a href="http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2014/08/experiencing-something-other-than-the-prevailing-system.html">writes on his blog</a>: "For me, the breakthrough here is permitting us, even for a little while, to understand what people who aren't 'most people' or aren't like those in power, have to accept in order to engage with the systems that have been built."
