The High Court of Bombay directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) (zone XII) to remain present on Wednesday while hearing a plea by a lawyer regarding police inaction against noise pollution from a mosque at Thakur village, Kandivli (east).
A bench led by Justice Revati Mohite-Dere heard a petition by Reena Richard who made several complaints to Samta Nagar police station & even posted live videos on Twitter to show that the mosque is using loudspeakers during early hours.
Her petition said there is an ESIS Hospital nearby. Richard had filed a petition in 2017 to stop the noise. In 2018 after she filed a contempt petition, the loudspeakers were removed. Her petition said in May 2022 the loudspeakers were back.
On Tuesday, the police submitted a report that the distance between
the hospital & mosque is 90 metres, which is within the 100 metres
criteria of silence zone under Noise Pollution Rules. After perusing the
report, the judges sought the zonal DCP's presence.
