Last year, Infosys paid up $34 million to end an investigation related to the widespread practice by Indian firms of flying workers to client sites in the United States on temporary visas. US authorities had been looking into Infosys' use of visas since 2011.
Palmer had previously tried to take Infosys to court, but his earlier case was dismissed in August 2012.
