If use of loudspeakers harmful during Ganesh festival then same for Eid too: HC
Bombay High Court said on Wednesday that if the use of loudspeakers and sound systems beyond permissible noise levels was harmful during the Ganesh festival then it also has the same effect during the Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi processions. A division bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Amit Borkar made the remark while hearing a bunch of public interest litigations (PILs) seeking a ban on the use of «DJs», «dance» and «laser lights» during the Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi processions.
The petitions urged HC to direct the civic bodies and police to refrain from granting permission for the use of such high-decibel sound systems.
The PILs claimed that neither the Quran nor the Hadith (holy books) prescribes the use of DJ systems and laser lights for the celebration.
The bench referred to an order passed by it last month just before the Ganesh festival wherein it emphasised the ban on the use of sound systems and loudspeakers emitting noise levels beyond the permissible limits specified under the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000, during festivals.
The petitioners' advocate Owais Pechkar sought the court to add Eid too in its earlier order to which the bench said that was not required as the order said «public festivals».
