Mosque loudspeakers not a right: Allahabad High Court
Prayagraj: The Allahabad High Court on Friday ruled that installation of loudspeakers in mosques is not a fundamental right.
This followed a petition on behalf of Irfan challenging the direction of the Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of Badaun district on December 3, 2021 refusing to grant permission to install a loudspeaker at Noori Masjid in Dhoranpur village for azaan.
The petitioner told the court that the direction was illegal and violated his fundamental rights.
A High Court Division Bench of Justice Vivek Kumar Birla and Justice Vikas dismissed the petition saying that the present petition is patently misconceived.
