Mumbai: The Bombay High Court has refused to give an urgent hearing to a PIL seeking a ban on the use of DJ, dancing, music and holiday lights during the upcoming Eid Milad un Nabi procession.
Since Eid Milad was on Monday, September 16, the petitioner's lawyer's request for an urgent hearing on this petition was considered the main one. The bench of Devendra Kumar Upadhyay refused. The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has suggested a ban on DJ and beam lights during Ganesh Chaturthi. Therefore, the court should hear the PIL. However, on this argument, the court said that if NGT has imposed a ban for Ganesh Chaturthi, then you can also go to NGT for Eid Milad.
Four Pune-based businessmen Zubair Pirzad, Siddiqui Alam and Amran Shaikh and Gausemuddin Shaikh have moved the high court through a PIL requesting that municipal corporations be directed not to allow DJ, dancing, music and use of holiday lights during the procession.
The petition states that neither the Holy Quran nor the Hadith permit the use of DJ sounds or laser lights, nor did the Prophet himself recommend such gatherings.
The petition urged that all religious festivals celebrated at public places must follow the provisions of the noise pollution rules and no religion or community can claim fundamental right under the Constitution on the use of DJ speakers, loud equipment.
The petition said that the use of DJ and laser lights during Eid Milad un Nabi celebrations causes noise pollution and affects the morality of Islam as well as the message given by Prophet Mohammad.
Despite the High Court's direction, the government has failed to curb noise pollution during festivals. There is no dispute resolution mechanism in place to handle complaints regarding the use of DJ and laser lights. No one should be allowed to perform religious rituals at high volume on the road. Playing DJ at high volume on the road, using laser light beams to block traffic is not necessary to cast a spell on any religion in Islam.
