The Environment (Protection) Rules, 1989, item No. 89 in Schedule I, along with the directions given by the Supreme Court In Re. Noise Pollution are sufficient to regulate, under the aspect of noise pollution, manufacturing and bursting of fire-crackers and, therefore, there is no need to give any direction to the respondent government authorities for framing any policy with regard thereto as prayed for in the petition. Nevertheless, the Court considered the aforesaid provisions are not much known to people at large and, therefore, the said provisions are often violated. Therefore the Court directed the Secretary, Home Department, to give directions to the concerned officers, who are concerned with issuance of licences for manufacturing or dealing in firecrackers that the firecrackers manufactured or sold by them should not be such which would make noise above the level prescribed in the aforesaid Rules. In the licence, which might be issued, the aforesaid condition should be incorporated and the officers concerned with implementation as well as supervision should see that the firecrackers are not sold in violation of any of the provisions of the aforesaid Rules and the final directions given by the Hon'ble Supreme Court. He is further directed to see that an overall restriction with regard to bursting of firecrackers on pubic streets is imposed in the entire state and due publicity to the said restriction is given.
