The DJ ban order is not limited to Ganeshotsav, it applies to all processions – High Court’s clear statement! Mumbai: If the use of DJ during Ganeshotsav period is harmful to health, then it will be harmful in Eid processions as well. Therefore, there is no need for a separate order, the High Court clarified on Wednesday.

The petitioners could not submit any scientific study to the court about the harmful effects of intense lights (laser beams) used in festivals. In fact, the petitioners demanded that the court order the government to conduct such a study. However, the bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyay and Justice Amit Borkar explained that the petitioners should have studied properly before making this demand through the petition. Why did the petitioner not research the ill effects of intense lights? There was a lot of outcry about mobile towers. But, have you seen the scientific reports about it? How to give judgment in such cases without scientific proof? The court also asked this question to the petitioners. In fact, the petitioners were expected to cooperate with the court in passing an effective order in that regard by citing scientific studies. But, most of the petitioners file petitions without proper study. In this case too, the petitioners demanded a ban on the use of bright lights. But, we are not experts in this subject, the court said while rejecting the demand of the petitioners for ban on the use of intense lamps. On behalf of the petitioners, advocate Owais Pechkar presented the proof of the opinions to the court. On that, there is an opinion expressed in articles. It is not a scientific study. Experts may have different opinions. Everyone thinks he has a solution for everything. Considering this matter, the court directed the petitioners to provide proof of scientific study to prove their claim. However, Pechkar told the court that he was not aware of any such study. Therefore, the court said that more research should be done on such subjects first.
