Lucknow: The Allahabad High Court has dismissed a petition seeking permission for Azaan from Ladspikar. The court has said that it is not a fundamental right to give Azaan from the loudspeakers. A law has already been passed on this. A division bench of Justices Vivek Kumar Birla and Vikas Wednesday said this while hearing a petition filed by Irfan.

Irfan, a resident of Badaun in UP, had moved the High Court to challenge an order passed by SDM Tehsil Bisauli, District Badaun. It sought permission to use a loudspeaker/mic in the village mosque at the time of Azaan. The high court had dismissed a petition seeking permission to install loudspeakers for Azaan, saying no religion allows the use of loudspeakers for worship or worship. Irfan had contended that the order passed by the SDM was completely illegal and the ban on playing loudspeakers from the mosque was a violation of its fundamental and legal rights. The high court, while dismissing its arguments, said that the law has now been passed that the use of loudspeakers from a mosque is not a fundamental right. Thus this petition is clearly wrong, so it is dismissed.

In a judgment in 2020, the Allahabad High Court admitted that the ban on Azaan from loudspeakers is valid as it is not a part of Islam. The court had said that Azaan is a part of Islam, but giving Azaan through loudspeakers cannot be a part of Islam. For this, the court had argued that before the arrival of the loudspeaker, Azaan was given in the human voice from the mosques. Azaan can be given from mosques in the human voice. The petition in this regard was filed by Ghazipur MP Afzal Ansari.
