Allahabad HC dismiss the PIL seeking the singing of national anthems in court rooms everyday

The PIL was moved by local lawyer S K Gupta seeking a direction to every court in the state to ensure singing of national anthem before work every morning. The petitioner had given the example of the apex court whereby it had asked the cinema halls to play the national anthem before screening of movies.
Allahabad high court has said that there is no law and, in fact, there has been no tradition of singing of the national anthem either inside courts or in its offices as a matter of daily routine either in this high court or any other of the country or even Supreme Court.
Court said that We dismiss this petition with the faith and hope that everybody concerned would continue to respect the national anthem as desired and as expected, but we find ourselves unable to issue any such compulsive direction.
Concerning Allahabad high court Rules 1952, the bench esaid that there is no rule or tradition to chant national anthem in courts. The Supreme Court’s recent verdict also does not mandate for all courts to chant national anthem every day.
