Allahabad HC Allows Azan at Mosque If Noise Norms and Court Rules Are Followed
The Allahabad High Court directed police and district authorities in Saharanpur not to interfere with the recitation of Azan five times daily at a mosque, provided noise limits and the court's 2020 judgment on loudspeaker use are followed. The petitioners sought permission to use loudspeakers, while the state emphasized compliance with Noise Pollution Rules, including decibel limits and restricted hours from 10 pm to 6 am. The court reaffirmed that Azan is essential to Islam, but loudspeaker use is subject to legal regulations.
