Calcutta High Court Grants Conditional Approval for RSS Rally in West Bengal

The court overruled the state government’s objections, allowing the event with restrictions on sound levels and timing.

The Calcutta High Court permitted the RSS rally in East Burdwan scheduled for February 16, overturning the West Bengal government's denial of permission.
The state government cited potential disruption to students preparing for board exams as the reason for denying the rally's use of loudspeakers.
Justice Amrita Sinha imposed conditions, including a maximum sound level of 45 decibels and limiting the use of the public address system to 75 minutes between 11:00 AM and 12:15 PM.
The court noted that the rally falls on a Sunday, with no exams scheduled and no schools near the venue, dismissing the state’s objections.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, on a 10-day tour of Bengal, is expected to address the rally at the Sports Authority of India complex in East Burdwan.
