In the PIL, Manor Tiwari said that states are violating Supreme Court order against blanket ban on firecrackers

SC questioned the need to revise the 1863 Religious Endowments Act, noting that the statute has enabled temples to serve "larger needs of the society."

The Madras High Court dismissed the lawyer's plea and imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on him. The petition was filed against the order of the Tamilnadu government making masks compulsory in Chennai.

The Supreme Court has told in its verdict that there is no merit in the PILs filed, and such filing such petitions are a waste of judicial time. It added that such frivolous PILs need to be 'nipped in the bud' so that development work is not stopped.

The petitioner alleged that the rejection of permission to play Azaan on the loudspeaker was 'illegal' and violative of his fundamental rights.
