The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday dismissed a writ petition seeking direction to the state authorities to permit the mounting of loudspeakers on a Masjid.<\/p>\n
The court observed that the religious places were for offering prayers, therefore the use of loudspeakers was not a matter of right.<\/p>\n
Dismissing the writ petition filed by Pilibhit-resident Mukhtiyar Ahmad, a two judge-bench, comprising Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Justice Donadi Ramesh, observed, “Religious places are for offering prayers to the divinity and use of loudspeakers cannot be claimed as a matter of right, particularly when often such use of loudspeakers create nuisance for the residents”.<\/p>\n
At the outset, the state counsel objected to the maintainability of the writ on the grounds that the petitioner was neither a mutawalli, nor did the mosque belong to him.<\/p>\n
The court also noted that the petitioner did not have locus to file the writ petition.<\/p>\n
The term ‘locus’ is a legal concept that refers to the right of a person or entity to participate in a legal proceeding or bring a lawsuit. P<\/p>\n
