Subject: Violation of Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000 and Infringement of Fundamental Rights
Respected Sir/Madam,
I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the serious violations of noise pollution regulations by various establishments near my residence, which are continuously disrupting the peaceful life of my family and myself.
The violators have been persistently committing offences under Sections 5(1), 5(2), 5(4), and 5(5) of the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000. The Supreme Court judgment in Church of God (Full Gospel) in India vs. K.K.R. Majestic Colony Welfare Association (2000) clearly establishes that loudspeaker usage is not a fundamental religious right and that citizens’ Article 21 rights cannot be violated in the name of religious activities.
Despite this clear legal position, the authorities responsible for enforcement under G.O.(P).No. 111/2002 dated 29th July, 2002 are failing to take appropriate action. Places of worship are openly violating silent zone regulations established under G.O.(P) No.64/02 dated 20.4.2002 (S.R.O.No.289/2002) and Kerala Police Loudspeaker Licence Conditions – U6-30380, Circular Number 17-2002.
Therefore, I request immediate action against the following establishments that are persistently violating these regulations. All equipment used for violations should be seized and legal proceedings initiated against the offenders.
Establishments Violating the Rules:
1. ___________ (Address)
2. ___________ (Address)
3. ___________ (Address)
Requested Actions:
1. Immediate seizure of all loudspeakers and public address systems violating regulations
2. Filing of complaints in court under Section 15 of the Environment Protection Act, 1986
3. Full implementation of National Green Tribunal Order O.A. 512/2016
I submit this complaint requesting urgent intervention to protect constitutional rights and ensure legal compliance.
Faithfully yours,
