No religion prescribes the use of loudspeakers for worshipping
The Police should take action against the people who have installed loudspeakers without permission in all mosques all over the country.
If the Police fail to do so, citizens should lodge complaints against the offenders as well as the Police.
Allahabad (UP) – No one can claim that it is their fundamental right to create noise, the Allahabad High Court has observed while declining to quash an order of Jaunpur District administration which refused permission to use the loudspeaker for ‘Azan’ (Muslim call to prayers).
A Bench comprising Justices Pankaj Mithal and VC Dixit dismissed a petition filed by Masroor Ahmad of Jaunpur against the 12th June 2019 order by a Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) refusing permission for using amplifiers and loudspeakers in two mosques of Baddopur and Shahganj villages for ‘Azan’.
The Bench, after going through the SDM’s order, said, “It becomes quite evident that the petitioners have been refused permission to use the sound amplifying system at the mosque not only for the inherent reason of noise pollution but to maintain peace and tranquillity in the area”.
The petitioner had contended that the order should be quashed so that they are able to offer prayers in accordance with their religion. Giving reference of a Supreme Court judgment, the Court said that no one can claim fundamental right to create noise by amplifying sound.
