The Court held that stopping the temple festival, which was a much revered annual event, would not be the solution.
The bench also said that thousands of children across the State were preparing for their exams while battling several hurdles. It thus said that it could not stop an entire festival for the petitioner’s “one son.”
The Court further accepted the State government’s submission that the locals and the village and temple authorities had been directed to adhere to anti-noise pollution norms, and requisite security arrangements were going to be made across all villages celebrating the festival.
The plea was thus dismissed with a direction to the concerned village committees to not use loudspeakers on days of the exam.
