Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of noise pollution and public gatherings affecting the right to peaceful living under Article 21 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized the need for the State to balance the right to protest with the rights of residents to live without disturbance. The appeal was allowed, directing the State to implement measures to mitigate the impact of protests on residents' lives, thereby reinforcing the principle that public order must not infringe upon individual rights.
