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.

She was speaking during the conference on breaking barriers, women in leadership, and entrepreneurship organised by the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce at a private hotel.

They need to be made aware and provided the benefits of the govt's welfare schemes. The day is not far when only women will be seen in the highest posts in the country," said the governor. On the occasion, Patel honoured 14 women entrepreneurs. Appreciating their achievements, the governor said their work is an inspiration for other women.

Principals face ‘charge sheets' for poor board results in Haryana
Gurgaon: Haryana education department has issued charge sheets to five govt school principals in Nuh district for what it calls "unacceptable performance" in the Class X and XII board examinations. Only those principals who have served in their posts for at least six months and whose schools recorded pass rates as low as 20-30% are being targeted. As part of the accountability process, education minister Kanwar Pal had earlier summoned heads of 10 schools each with the worst Class X and Class XII results. After reviewing their performance, formal charge sheets were prepared.

Those served notices will be allowed to present their defence and explain the reasons behind their school's performance. A personal hearing will also be given before disciplinary action — ranging from salary increment stoppage to transfers — is decided. The additional chief secretary (ACS) for school education is overseeing the disciplinary proceedings. These actions mark the beginning of a larger accountability drive targeting principals of underperforming schools across the state. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Book Now And Save up to ₹23.71L on Luxury Homes in Whitefield Sumadhura Group Learn More Undo The move follows directives from chief minister Nayab Saini and the education minister, who have called for fixing responsibility in cases where schools had adequate staff and resources but still showed dismal academic results. Officials said that the principals have been served notices under Rule 7 (major penalties) and Rule 8 (minor penalties) of the Haryana Civil Services (Punishment & Appeal) Rules. One of the charge-sheeted principals, Abdul Nafe of Punhana, responded to the action, saying his school's poor performance was due to a severe faculty shortage, especially in core science subjects. "There were no teachers for chemistry, physics, or biology throughout the year. A chemistry teacher joined in Nov, far too late for preparation," he said, adding that the problem has persisted for the past two years. Only three students passed physics in Class XII from his school this year. The Class XII board results, declared in May 2025, exposed glaring gaps in school performance. Across Haryana, 18 govt schools recorded a 0% pass rate, meaning no student passed. Of these, six were located in Nuh, followed by four in Faridabad, and one each in Gurgaon, Hisar, Jhajjar, Karnal, Palwal, Rohtak, Sonipat and Yamunanagar. The zero-pass schools are part of a broader concern. Data from the Education Directorate shows that 100 govt schools performed poorly overall, overshadowing the state's average pass percentage of 85.7. Among these, 82 schools had pass percentages below 35%, triggering a referral for corrective action to the Education Directorate and the ministry of education. The Haryana govt's crackdown on underperformance signals a policy shift toward measurable accountability in school leadership, with more action expected as investigations continue across the state.
