#AllahabadHighCourt directs the Principal Secretary, Basic Education, Government of Uttar Pradesh to 'ensure' that all the District Basic Education Officers start performing their duties 'promptly'.
Court had noted that department's officers are taking their jobs very casually.
Court said, "This is sorry state of affairs .....This Court is flooded with writ petitions every day simply for a direction upon these officers to decide the grievances."
Therefore, court directed that it is to be ensured that all the matters which come before such officers for consideration, get disposed of 'at the earliest'.
"It is high time that now these officers of the State Government should start working and attend to the grievances which come before them through representations within a period of one month," court said.

Note: Some News portals have incorrectly reported that Narsinghanand has been granted bail in a case registered u/s 295,509,323,504, and 153A of the Indian Penal Code.
