HC grants interim relief to 59-yr-old teacher
During the hearing on June 26, additional government advocate S K Jee informed the court that the govt would decide the matter within two weeks.
Taking note of the submission, Justice Biraja Prasanna Satapathy granted interim relief, directing that "in the interim, the petitioner be allowed to continue in his post till the next date."
The matter will next be heard in the week commencing July 21.
Alok Chandra Barik approached the court after the school and mass education department failed to act on documents verifying his actual date of birth as June 6, 1967, not June 6, 1965, as recorded in his original high school certificate.
Advocate Purushottam Chuli, representing Barik, told the court that the date of birth in the original HSC certificate was erroneous. However, his admit card and provisional certificate issued by the Board of Secondary Education (BSE), Odisha, reflected the correct date. Acting on a formal representation filed on April 4, the BSE issued a duplicate HSC certificate on April 19 confirming 1967 as his correct birth year.

According to the petition, Barik submitted the corrected document to his school authorities on April 29, which was later forwarded to the director of higher education. On May 30, the deputy director sought verification of the certificate. The BSE secretary confirmed its authenticity on June 2.
Despite this, no official correction has been made in govt records, putting Barik at risk of retirement on June 30, 2025, two years before his actual superannuation date, the petition said.
Barik has sought a directive from the court allowing him to serve till June 30, 2027, claiming that the delay despite verified documents would unjustly shorten his career by two years. He joined service on July 15, 1991.

China's assassination plot in Prague exposes CCP's global terror network
. National security experts are warning that China may repeat its apparent attempt to target Taiwanese political figures abroad, following revelations of a planned harassing incident during former vice president-elect Hsiao Bi-khim's March 2024 visit to Prague, the Taipei Times reported. Czech Military Intelligence confirmed that Chinese agents surveilled Hsiao and devised a plan to orchestrate a car collision with her motorcade. The plot, which never progressed beyond the planning stage, involved a Chinese diplomat tailing Hsiao's vehicle and even planning a "demonstrative incident," the agency told Taipei Times. A diplomat allegedly ran a red light, maintaining close surveillance of the Taiwanese delegation. A National Security Bureau official, requesting anonymity, stated that whether the order came from Beijing or local embassy officials, the scheme revealed China's "cross-border repression" tactics, actions that undermine international norms and diplomatic immunity. The official cited prior CCP operations aimed at Hong Kong activists like singer Denise Ho and analyst Lee Cheng-hao, asserting that Beijing is not hesitant to deploy proxies to intimidate critics abroad. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Joacă în sfârșit cel mai bun joc de strategie 2025 gratuit! Sea of Conquest Joacă acum Undo Professor Wang Zhin-sheng of Central Police University described the incident as a "stress test" of Czech authorities, designed to deter future visits by Taiwanese leaders. He warned, "China's intelligence agencies are not hesitant to test countries, to gauge the tolerance of the host country." He also cautioned that future threats may target high-profile figures, such as former President Tsai Ing-wen. The public unveiling of a potential attack on Hsiao prompted strong international backlash. Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council condemned China's tactic as a serious breach of diplomatic conventions and demanded an official apology. The US House Foreign Affairs Committee described it as "criminality on display" and urged broader global condemnation. Taipei Times stressed that the scheme not only endangered Hsiao's life but also signalled an escalation in China's extraterritorial coercion, a tactic that democratic nations must respond to decisively. With rising threats of this nature, experts affirm that states must take a "zero tolerance" stance to protect Taiwanese and other democracy advocates abroad.

Nancy Mace reaches DC in her pink PJs to vote for Trump's spending bill after her flights were canceled. Rep Nancy Mace (R-SC) did not want to miss the crucial vote for Donald Trump's 'Big, beautiful bill' and so started on a road trip in her pink pajamas when she found out that her flights had been canceled. Nancy blogged on her way and bombarded her social media with her videos. "Come hell or high water, we were showing up to vote on the Big, Beautiful Bill today," Nancy wrote. In one clip shared on X, she wears her pajamas to a Wawa convenience store as AC/DC's 1979 tune 'Highway to Hell' blasts in the background. 'If D.C. had a theme song …,' she captioned the post. 'From one Waffle House waitress to another, thank you for showing up, working hard, and keeping the coffee hot,' she captioned the post. 'We haven't forgotten where we came from. On to DC to vote for the Big, Beautiful Bill.' — RepNancyMace (@RepNancyMace) Social media users were not impressed with her vlogging as users said that it was only an 8-hour drive from Charleston to DC but she made it look like a massive trek. 'What's wrong with this woman? What's with these videos where she's on pajamas etc? Who's doing her [social media]? This is unhinged and undignified for a congresswoman,' one wrote. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'Nancy Mace had her flight canceled to DC so she rented a luxury van with a driver, put on her jammies and then had a poor staffer film her all the way there for social media clout,' another wrote.

RSS wants to create caste-based, religiously divided society, says Speaker Appavu
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh wants to uproot the words secularism, socialism and egalitarian society from Indian Constitution as the outfit aims to create an unequal, caste-based and religiously divided society with the 'upper caste' ruling the roost, Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker M. Appavu has said. During an informal chat with reporters, Mr. Appavu, after inaugurating an urban health centre at Chidambara Nagar near Thatchanallur here on Thursday, said the RSS had never accepted the ideas of secularism, socialism and egalitarian society and always advocated for a caste-based and religiously divided society with the 'upper caste' at the top of the administration.. Hence, RSS leaders were repeatedly stressing that the words secularism and socialism be removed from the Indian Constitution. 'While the Indian Constitution vociferously supports secularism, socialism and egalitarian society, the RSS works overtime to uproot it from the Constitution as this outfit sees these high ideals as the stumbling block for achieving its dream of creating caste-based, unequal and religiously divided society. Hence the Union Government is travelling towards this direction to realise its masters' dream, which is not good for the country's integrity and prosperity. Having realised this wickedness, the people of Tamil Nadu will never accept these evil designs,' Mr. Appavu said. The Speaker also said the RSS and Union Home Minister Amit Shah were keen on the obliteration of English, the country's link language, by initially pushing forward Hindi and then replacing Hindi with Sanskrit later. 'It will also not be possible in Tamil Nadu.' Terming the recent custodial death in Sivaganga district as 'unpardonable', Mr. Appavu said the Chief Minister had ensured the registration of a case against five policemen and their arrest since the brutal incident was against law and the people. 'The Chief Minister even went on to apologise to the family of the deceased, which shows his respect for high values.' Asked about the information that Ajith was brutally thrashed on the instruction from an IAS officer, Mr. Appavu said: 'The probe is on to bring out the truth. If an IAS officer is found to be involved in this incident, the Chief Minister will not spare the officer also'. On the ongoing internal squabbles in the PMK, the Speaker said they (party founder S. Ramadoss and his son Anbumani Ramadoss) would sort it out.
