Bombay High Court Rules on Noise Levels for Festivals
News summary

The Bombay High Court ruled that the use of loudspeakers and sound systems beyond permissible noise levels poses harm during both the Ganesh festival and Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi processions. This decision came during a hearing of public interest litigations (PILs) that sought to ban high-decibel DJ systems and laser lights during Eid celebrations. The court referenced its previous ruling on noise pollution regulations and emphasized that the same standards apply to all public festivals. Petitioners argued that such loud celebrations are not prescribed in the Quran or Hadith, but the court requested scientific evidence to support claims of harm from laser lights. The judges criticized the petitioners for not conducting prior research, underscoring the need for factual support in legal matters. The PILs were ultimately dismissed, with the court urging petitioners to assist in providing relevant information for effective judicial guidance.
