Reported in: 1999(2)AWC1558A

M. Katju, J.1. The case of the petitioner is covered by the Division Bench decision of this Court in Civil Misc. Writ petition No. 42403 of 1998, Mohd. V. Sharif Saifi v. State of U. P. and others. We issue the same directions in this case also.2. However, we wish to issue a humble appeal to the general public to refrain from utilizing loudspeakers, whether it is for Akhand Ramayan. Azan, Kirtan, quawwali or public programmes, functions, marriages, or for any such purposes because this is causing a great deal of inconvenience and harassment to the general public, particularly to persons who may be having heart problems and want to get sound rest, students who wish to study, and others who do not wish to be disturbed.3. In our opinion, no doubt everyone has a fundamental right under Article 25 of the Constitution topractice his religion freely, but his right should not be exercised in a manner which causes harassment or inconvenience to others.
