If use of DJ during Ganeshotsav is harmful for health, it will also be harmful in processions organised on the occasion of Eid. Therefore, there is no need for a separate order, the high court clarified on Wednesday. The petitioners could not present any scientific study in the court regarding 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, a bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyay and Justice Amit Borkar made it clear 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 light? There was a lot of hue and cry about mobile towers, but have you seen the scientific reports about it?
How to give a verdict in such cases without scientific evidence? The court also asked this question to the petitioners. In fact, the petitioners were expected to cooperate with the court in passing effective orders in that regard by citing scientific studies. But, most of the petitioners file the petition without proper study.
In this case also the petitioners had demanded a ban on the use of bright lights. Rejecting the demand, the court said that we are not experts in this matter. On behalf of the petitioners, lawyer Owais Pechkar gave evidence of his opinion to the court. Opinions are expressed in articles on that. This is not a scientific study. Experts may have different opinions. Everyone thinks they have a solution to everything.
Considering this matter, the court directed the petitioners to provide evidence of scientific studies 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 topics.
