No, Nepal Supreme Court Has Not Banned Loudspeakers in Mosques
The QuintWe found no credible news reports on the Nepal Supreme Court banning loudspeakers in Nepal or any information regarding such an order on the SC’s website. Speaking to The Quint, Deepak Adhikari, Editor of South Asia Check, stated that the Supreme Court had ordered the mosques to lower their volumes in response to a petition seeking a ban. Further, Adhikari reached out to Nepal Supreme Court spokesperson, Bhadrakali Pokharel, on behalf of fact-checking site, AltNews, who confirmed that, “They have not banned loudspeakers.” He further stated that the judge had passed a temporary stay order on 29 November 2020, to lower the sound of loudspeakers in mosques. Evidently, contrary to claims on social media, the Supreme Court of Nepal has not passed any order banning loudspeakers in mosques.
