The Court directed the District Magistrate and Senior Superintendent of Police to be vigilant and in case any violation was pointed out by any citizen of the States of Punjab, Haryana and UT Chandigarh, appropriate steps should be taken in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">In the present case, during the pendency of this petition, the Haryana State Pollution Control Board (&#8216;the Board&#8217;) and State of Haryana have filed their respective affidavits stating that Respondent 7 was summoned by the authorities. Subsequently on appearing, Respondent 7 assured of maintaining the noise levels, which were prescribed by guidelines laid down in order passed by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court on 22-07-2019 in <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Reet case (supra).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Analysis, Law, and Decision<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that the affidavits filed by the Board and States revealed that 49 complaints were received from 2021 till May 2024, out of which 25 complaints were disposed of and 24 were pending consideration. The Court stated that even though the reply filed by the Board was silent about the status of the complaints that were disposed of, but it appeared that the grievance of noise pollution was a continuous one and would have to be monitored from micro to macro level by the authorities concerned. These authorities included the executive authorities under the State of Haryana including the District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police, who have been held to personally liable in case of any violation of the said guidelines laid down in <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Reet case (supra).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court stated that since noise pollution was part of the air pollution and was punishable under the Air Act, the petitioner was granted liberty to approach the police station concerned and lodge an FIR in case of any violation of the guidelines laid down in <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Reet case (supra).<\/span> Further, the offence of noise pollution was a cognizable one under the Air Act, therefore, if any such cognizable offence was informed to the police authorities, they were duty bound to register an FIR under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001519389\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">154<\/a><a id=\"fnref1\" href=\"#fn1\" title=\"1.
