Discrimination targets Gujarat’s Muslim businesses
In a highly contentious move, the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC) recently revoked licenses for 27 highway hotels across the state, all of which were Muslim-owned establishments registered under Hindu names. This action, framed as a crackdown on "misleading naming practices," has drawn sharp criticism from Muslim entrepreneurs and community leaders, who view it as part of a broader pattern of religious discrimination.

Noise Pollution Ban: Unequal standards for diverse practices?
The recent Bombay High Court judgment (23rd January 2025) addresses the contentious issue of the use of loudspeakers at places of worship and their legal standing under Article 25 of the Constitution. The case was initiated following complaints by residents about persistent noise pollution caused by loudspeakers from religious institutions (masjids), particularly during early morning and late-night hours. The court examined whether such practices constituted an essential religious function or merely a cultural practice subject to regulation under existing noise pollution laws. The court ruled that loudspeakers are not an essential part of religious practice and directed the Maharashtra government and police to take strict action against violations of the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000. This ruling aligns with past judicial pronouncements while also raising questions about unequal enforcement of noise regulations across different religious communities.
