Church Of God (Full Gospel) In India vs K.K.R. Majestic Colony Welfare ...

The Supreme Court ruled that the use of loudspeakers and musical instruments for religious purposes cannot infringe upon the rights of others to enjoy peace and quiet, as protected under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. The Court emphasized that no religion mandates the creation of noise pollution and that the rights of individuals, especially vulnerable groups like the elderly and children, must be respected. The appeal by the Church of God was dismissed, affirming the need to adhere to noise pollution regulations and maintain communal harmony.
