[Loudspeaker ban] Gujarat High Court issues notice on a PIL plea seeking a statewide ban on loudspeakers in mosques.
On a plea moved by a doctor who runs his clinic in state's Gandhinagar district, Chief Justice Aravind Kumar led bench issued notice to the Gujarat government.
The doctor had alleged that people who live nearby any mosque are made subject to great inconvenience and disturbance.
The doctor had demanded the practice to be prohibited stating that despite the fact that due to covid protocols, many of the namaz offerees are not reaching mosques for the prayers, the mosques are using loudspeakers during prayers.
Importantly, for his prayer, the doctor had relied upon the May 2020 ruling of the #AllahabadHighCourt wherein the Court had held that Azan is certainly an essential and integral part of Islam but use of microphone and loud-speakers is not an essential or integral part thereof.

BREAKING: 765 persons including lawyers, law students, academicians and social activists express deep concern with the interim order of the Karnataka HC restraining all students from wearing religious clothing and condemn the violation of constitutional rights of muslims.
Open letter states that they “hang their heads in shame” after having been witness to ‘public humiliation of Muslim students and staff, who are being forced to remove their hijab before entering schools and colleges, purportedly on instructions of the district administrations’
Open letter by 765 persons states that HC order restraining students from wearing religious clothing ‘proceeds on an understanding linked exclusively to the right to freedom of conscience, enshrined in Article 25 of the Constitution’ & not on golden triangle of Art 14,19,21 & 15
#SupremeCourt hearing pleas challenging the Madras High Court judgment which had declared the 10.5% internal reservation to the Vanniyar community under the existing 20% reservation to Most Backward Classes by Tamil Nadu Government unconstitutional. #VanniyarReservation
Bench: We are not inclined to the argument of referring the matter to a larger bench, you can start your arguments.
Due to non availability of Senior Advocate Abhishek Singhvi the petitioner are seeking a short accomodation.
The bench has asked other counsels to continue with their submissions.
Sr. Adv. Ranjit Kumar for petitioner: Your lordships reposed a confidence upon SEC for free and fair election. Unfortunately that has been belied.
For the remaining 108 municipalities, therefore pass appropriate orders.
Kumar: while the whole election process is going on, they wanted to influence voters by taking advantage of door-to-door schemes and the SEC allowed this!
