The Gujarat High Court said on Tuesday, November 28, said that the use of loudspeakers in the mosques for Azaan five times during the day does not create noise pollution. The court observed while dismissing a public interest litigation (PIL) petition seeking to ban such loudspeakers. The division bench of Chief Justice Sunita Agarwal and Justice Aniruddha Mayee said the PIL was wholly misconceived. When the court sought to know on what grounds the petitioner claimed noise pollution was caused, the counsel said that the music was played in the house and not in a public place like a mosque. To this, Chief Justice Sunita Agarwal said, "We aren't speaking about music played in homes. You also play loud music for bhajan or aarti in a temple. That doesn't cause disturbance? How does this (Azaan) cause disturbance? This is for few minutes. Less than 10 minutes (throughout the day) it is."
