The Patna High Court actively addressed rampant noise pollution, criticizing lax enforcement by authorities. Justice Rajiv Roy's escalating actions led to statewide directives, effectively making the court a quasi-regulator. The author views this proactive approach positively, endorsing routine enforcement, mandatory registration for noise operators, and a 9:55 p.m. loudspeaker cutoff. These measures tackle the impracticality of complaint-driven enforcement, acknowledging challenges like cultural friction and political incentives. The success of the court's orders hinges on the State developing consistent enforcement habits, moving beyond episodic interventions to protect citizens from unlawful noise.
