Kollam, Jan 19: A 14-year-old boy was burnt to death by his mother over a property dispute with her husband's family, the police said on Thursday.

The boy was missing from his house at Kundara near Kollam since Monday.

His fully-burnt body was found in a compound adjacent to the house on Wednesday, the police said. The story of the gruesome killing unravelled when police questioned the boy's mother, who had some burn injuries on her hands, out of suspicion.

The 44-year-old woman confessed that there was an argument between her and the boy over some property dispute with the husband's family and in a fit of anger she killed him by setting him ablaze, the police said.

She was taken into custody on Thursday and the arrest was recorded, they added.

Bengaluru, Mar 20: The high court on Thursday directed the government to notify on its official website the penal provisions to be enforced against private schools violating norms relating to fees and safety of students, among other things. A division bench of chief justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka granted six weeks to the authorities to comply while disposing of a PIL filed by advocate NP Amrutesh.

Earlier, the state government submitted a memo stating that necessary amendments have been brought to Karnataka Education Act in 2017. It said any breach of students' safety entails a minimum jail term of six months and Rs 1 lakh fine for a convicted employee or member of the management. Any institution found guilty by the District Education Regulatory Authority will face disaffiliation and must pay a fine of Rs 10 lakh, the memo said.

Schools collecting donations and other fees beyond what is prescribed can be fined up to Rs 10 lakh and they must refund the excess fee.

In relation to schools charging for applications and brochures, the state capped their prices at Rs 5 and Rs 20 respectively, by issuing a gazzette notification last year.
