Forum Prevention of Environment & Sound Pollution Vs UOI, AIR 2006 SC 348

Hon'ble Supreme Court of India observed as under, "Restrictions on the use of loud speakers…. No religion ever says to force the unwilling to listen to expressions of religious beliefs. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says to Arjuna: This secret gospel of the Gita should never be imparted to a man who lacks penance, nor to him who is wanting in devotion, nor even to him who lends not a willing ear; and in no case to him who finds fault with Me... He who, offering the highest love to Me, preaches the most profound gospel of the Gita among My devotees, shall come to Me alone; there is no doubt about it….
Before parting, we would like to clarify further that we may not be understood as diluting in any manner our holding in Noise Pollution. We are also not granting any exemption or relaxation in favour of anyone by our verdict.”
