Houston : An Indian-American Sikh has settled a five-year-old federal lawsuit that alleged she was fired from her job here for insisting on wearing a 'kirpan' to work. Former Houston Internal Revenue System (IRS) agent Kanwaljeet Tagore, 41, currently works as a self employed tax consultant in Houston.

The settlement announced Thursday expunges Tagore's firing from her record, allows her to enter federal buildings with the ceremonial dagger for a period of three years and awards her lawyers USD 400,000 for fees and expenses. Tagore, however, will be barred from seeking re-employment with the IRS, but may seek work with other federal agencies.
