SK. PIRU BUX & ORS. vs KALANDI PATI RAO & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the Hindu residents have the right to take out both religious and non-religious processions with appropriate music on public roads, subject only to local authority regulations, magistrate directions, and public rights. The Court found that a prior compromise from 1931 did not bind the respondents as it was not made in a representative capacity. The High Court's decision to allow processions without restrictions on music was upheld, affirming the respondents' legal rights under civil law.
