The Allahabad High Court has quashed a Lucknow Police alcohol ban imposed as a condition of noise-pollution permission for a Bacardi-sponsored concert, holding that the Noise Pollution Rules give the police no power over liquor.
The December 14 Diljit Dosanjh concert in Chandigarh faced backlash for granting over 300 VIP passes solely to high court judges, alongside exclusive access to a “Judges Lounge.” This preferential treatment drew criticism, especially as previous concerts lacked similar accommodations. The court also imposed strict noise regulations for the event.
