HC refuses to grant permission to Jeth Mela at Bahraich dargah
The court, however, said that routine activities and other rituals at the dargah would continue.
The court passed an interim order while reserving the detailed judgment which will be pronounced later.
A division bench of justice AR Masoodi and justice Subhash Vidyarthi passed the order on the petition filed by Waqf No. 19, Dargah Sharif, and two other petitioners.
The petitioners had demanded that the court set aside the order of the local administration whereby it restrained the Dargah Sharif Management Committee from organising Jeth Mela.
The bench heard the petitioners on Saturday after the Chief Justice of the Allahabad high court constituted a special bench to hear the matter on a holiday.
After prolonged hearing, the bench, in its interim order, directed the local administration to maintain law and order, providing necessary civic amenities in association with the committee administering the management of dargah.
Additional advocate general Kuldeep Pati Tripathi did not object to the interim order passed by the court.

He demanded that immediate action should be taken and an order should be issued. ITUC district secretary Geeta Badiger said that the govt is saying they will drop ASHA workers on the basis of education. "They did not need education when they were recruited, why do they need education now?" she added, and emphasised that the hardships of ASHA workers are significant, and the chief minister should pay attention to them. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Air conditioners without external unit.

Why Maneka Gandhi says Delhi- NCR could face 1880s Paris-style problems if stray dogs are removed
The Supreme Court 's directive to remove all stray dogs from Delhi-NCR streets and place them in shelters has triggered a heated debate over whether the move is realistic or wise. On Monday, the court ordered the immediate removal of all stray dogs from public spaces in Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, and Ghaziabad. Following the decision, former Union minister and animal rights activist Maneka Gandhi criticised the order, calling it 'impractical', 'financially unviable' and 'potentially harmful' to the region's ecological balance. Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 4 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 3 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals By Vaibhav Sisinity View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 2 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass Batch-1 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program She warned of unintended consequences, saying that removing strays could create new problems. 'Within 48 hours, three lakh dogs will come from Ghaziabad, Faridabad, because there's food here in Delhi. And once you remove the dogs, monkeys will come on the ground... I've seen this happen at my own house.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mountain Gear for Extreme Conditions Trek Kit India Learn More Undo Recalling a historical example, Gandhi referred to 1880s Paris: 'When they removed dogs and cats, the city was overrun with rats,' she said, describing dogs as 'rodent control animals'. What exactly happened in Paris in the 1880s? In the late 19th century, stray dogs roamed Paris in large numbers and were often seen as dangerous transmitters of rabies, fleas, and filth. The city administration considered them a threat to cleanliness, public health, and safety. Live Events In the 1880s, a large-scale removal, and in some cases slaughter, of dogs was carried out in an attempt to curb rabies and make the French capital more 'modern' and safe. While the historical record on cats is less clear for this period, it is believed that removing dogs caused an unexpected spike in the city's rat population, as the animals had been an important natural check on rodents. Research in Stray Dogs and the Making of Modern Paris notes that in 1883, pharmacist Emile Capron appealed for the removal of stray dogs, arguing they scared horses and caused accidents. However, there is no definitive evidence of a simultaneous large-scale killing of cats. The idea of a 'cat massacre' in Paris has its own separate history. Historian Robert Darnton wrote about a grim incident in his 1984 book The Great Cat Massacre and Other Episodes in French Cultural History. This was based on an event from the 1730s, when a group of printing press apprentices in Paris tortured and killed cats in protest against their working conditions. According to History Today, the episode was part of a strange blend of cruelty, social commentary, and dark humour that reflected the tensions of the time. Inputs from agencies

No new law colleges for three years, announces BCI
CHENNAI: There will be no more new law colleges or law schools in the country for a period of three years, as the statutory Bar Council of India (BCI) has announced a three-year moratorium on new centres of legal education. 'During the moratorium period, no new centre of legal education will be established or granted approval anywhere in India. Further, no existing centre of legal education may introduce any new section, course, or batch without the prior written and express approval of the BCI. Pending applications that have not received final approval as on the commencement date will not be affected and shall be processed in accordance with law,' said Srimanto Sen, principal secretary of the BCI, on Wednesday. Explaining the rationale behind the move, the council said it was necessitated 'to arrest the decline in quality across segments of legal education, evidenced by the unchecked mushrooming of sub-standard institutions, routine issuance of NOCs by state govt and affiliations by universities without proper inspection, and to prevent the commercialisation of legal education, widespread academic malpractice, and persistent shortages of qualified faculty. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo ' With around 2,000 centres of legal education already operating across the country, the BCI believes the country's institutional capacity is adequate, the release said, adding that the focus must shift to consolidation, quality enhancement, and systemic strengthening in the public interest and in furtherance of constitutional commitments. The regulation, which is to be published shortly for a continuous period of three years, draws its authority from the Advocates Act, 1961, and reflects the council's duty to promote and maintain standards of legal education, protect the integrity of the profession, and safeguard public interest in the administration of justice, it added. Recalling a resolution adopted in 2019 imposing a temporary moratorium of new law schools, and the subsequent judgment of the Punjab and Haryana high court dated Dec 4, 2020, the BCI said it too issued a detailed press statement of June 16, 2021 urging rigorous diligence by state govts and universities. 'The present Regulation answers the court's guidance by enacting the measures through formal rules and reinforces the Council's long-standing commitment to quality,' Sen said in the statement. There are, however, certain exceptions. The regulations exclude proposals dedicated exclusively to socially and educationally backward classes, SC/STs and economically weaker sections, proposals in remote, tribal or aspirational districts notified by the competent authorities and courses designed solely for persons with disabilities. 'All such proposals must satisfy strict conditions, including valid NOCs, prior university affiliations, demonstrated infrastructure and faculty strength, and compliance with need-based establishment under the Rules of Legal Education,' the statement said.
