Court extends custody of suspended HoD by 14 days in suicide abetment case
Balasore: The court of sub-divisional judicial magistrate (SDJM) in Balasore on Thursday extended the judicial custody of the suspended head of department of a college by another 14 days in connection with the alleged abetment of suicide of a female student. Bijay Kumar Dash, additional public prosecutor, said SDJM Kishor Kumar Nath passed the order following the completion of the suspended faculty member's initial 14-day custody period. He was arrested on July 12 amid a growing outcry over the death of the student, which triggered widespread protests and demands for justice. "The court on Friday recorded the statements of three more individuals under Section 183 of BNSS, further adding to the growing body of evidence in the case," Dash said. Student unions, civil society groups and politicians had called for strict action against those found guilty. The case has become a focal point of public discourse, highlighting concerns over campus safety and alleged academic harassment. The 14-day judicial custody of the college principal — who was also arrested for his alleged role in the case — is set to expire on Sunday. Authorities are expected to seek an extension of his custody.

Kerry area is home to more than ten vacant properties owned by the council
Kerry County Council data indicates that six of these properties are 'Void', meaning they are not occupied. Refurbishment works are complete at three of these properties while renovations are ongoing at two. Works are awaited at one other. Works are ongoing at one fire damaged property while an insurance engagement is ongoing in relation to another fire damaged property. Three council homes in the area have been vacant for more than a year. The council said refurbishment works are not feasible at these properties so they have been earmarked for sale under the Section 183 process, relating to proposed disposal of land held by a local authority. The council data was published in response to motions tabled by Independent councillor Maura Healy-Rae and Kerry Independent Alliance councillor John O'Donoghue at the June meeting of Killarney Municipal District. Cllr Healy-Rae asked the council to provide details on the vacant and void properties within the Municipal District and what is required to bring these properties back into use. Cllr O'Donoghue asked how many of the council's houses in Killarney have been vacant for more than 12 months.
