No religion prescribes or preaches that prayers are required to be performed through voice amplifiers or by the beating of drums and if there is such practice, it should not adversely affect the rights of the others including that of not being disturbed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Supreme Court decision in <em>Noise Pollution (V), IN RE<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/K151v30s\">(2005) 8 SCC 796<\/a> was also referred, wherein it was stated that,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201c&#8230;fundamental right of a person under Article 19 (1) of the Constitution of India of freedom of speech and expression is not absolute and no one can claim fundamental right to create noise by amplifying sound of his speech with the help of loudspeakers as every citizen has a fundamental right to live in peace, comfort and quietness of his house.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thus, in view of the above, the writ petition was dismissed.
