Muslims decide to challenge loudspeaker circular in HC | Mumbai News
Mumbai: Stepping up their opposition to the police’s move to remove loudspeakers from mosques, Muslim groups have decided to challenge the police circular of May 11, 2025, in High Court.Led by former minister Arif Naseem Khan, several Muslim organisations, including Jamiatul Ulema-e-Hind and Jamiatul Ahle Hadees, met at Sakinaka on Monday. It was decided to file a petition against the May 11, 2025, circular of the additional DGP regarding seeking permission for loudspeakers by places of worship.“The circular wants places of worship (mosques, temples, gurudwaras, churches) to submit property cards, proof of legal construction of the structures, and whether they are registered with the Waqf Board or charity commission. Though the circular claims to reiterate orders of the Supreme Court and High Court, the courts’ orders do not demand proof of whether the structures are legal or not,” said Khan. tnn
