Bedi, J., observed that Sonu Nigam\u2019s recent tweets against the use of loudspeakers during \u2018Azan\u2019 does not violate Articles 25 and 26 of the Constitution curtailing the freedom to practice any religion. Referring to a Calcutta High Court decision in <em>Moulana Mufti Syed Md. Noorur Rehman Barkati<\/em> v. <em>State of West Bengal<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/LoginForNewsLink\/Lcu70493\">1998 SCC OnLine Cal 73<\/a>, it was held that \u2018Azan\u2019 is an essential part of Islam; however the use of loudspeakers is not an essential part of \u2018Azan\u2019 itself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Very recently Sonu Nigam in a series of tweets on Twitter expressed his anguish over loudspeakers being used during the morning \u2018Azan\u2019. His tweets however created a huge controversy which led to the filing of the instant petition. The petitioner, a Muslim alleged that Sonu Nigam via his \u2018anti- Azan\u2019 tweets has not only violated his Fundamental Right to practice his religion, but he also intended to outrage religious feelings of a particular class (in this case Muslims) which is an offence under Section 295A IPC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Perusing Nigam\u2019s tweets, the Court observed that the tweets are well within the parameter of Right to Freedom of Speech and Expression enshrined under Article 19(1)(a). Moreover the tweets instead of showing disrespect to any religion, merely criticizes the use of loudspeakers for religious proposes. The use of the word \u2018gundagardi\u2019 in one of Sonu Nigam\u2019s tweet does not address the \u2018Azaan\u2019 from Mosque, but it is meant to the use of loudspeakers and amplifiers. The Court however reprimanded the petitioner for making a publicity stunt via the present petition and held that such practices should be deprecated, \u201cTo secure the spirit of Preamble and to perform our fundamental duties to uphold and protect the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India and to promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood the people of India\u201d.
