In our considered opinion, the competent authorities who have been authorised under the Act to launch prosecution and also to see that the the Act is properly carried out and sex ratio is increased, are required to be given training,&#8221; the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>The apex court asked the Chairman of the Bihar Judicial Academy of the Patna High Court to fix a time schedule for imparting the training.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In our considered opinion, the cases under the 1994 Act should be dealt with in quite promptitude and the concerned courts have to treat the said cases with utmost primacy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In view of the aforesaid, we direct that the cases which are pending before the trial court shall positively be disposed of by end of October 2015,&#8221; the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>During the proceedings, advocate Binu Tamta, appearing for the Centre, assured the bench that &#8220;appropriate&#8221; directions are issued to the authorities of All India Radio and Doordarshan functioning in various states to give wide publicity.<\/p>\n<p>The court directed that the copy of the April 15 order be sent to the Principal Secretary, Health, and the Principal Secretary, Law, so that the order can be translated and be published in newspapers and broadcast by All India Radio and telecast by Doordarshan in an &#8220;appropriate&#8221;
