The high court has issued notices to the BBMP regarding a public interest litigation, which alleges that loud parties are being held in a community hall in the city without licence, creating a lot of nuisance for people living around it.

Two people have filed the PIL, alleging that the community hall in Central Public Works Department (CPWD) quarters premises in Vijayanagar is hosting parties almost every day without permission.

The petitioners contend that non-veg food is served in these parties. Animals are butchered in the wee hours of the day, which creates an unpleasant scene, what with the cries of the animals.

Stray dogs keep roaming around the hall for raw meat and the surplus food that is thrown after the parties are over.

The PIL says that the area around community hall has become a mess. Residents have to put up with foul smell all the time. The place has become home to rodents and flies.

Further, many people who come to the community hall for the parties urinate on the boundary walls, which just adds to the trouble. The situation is so bad that reaching health clinic on the first floor of the community hall has become an arduous task.

Further, the petitioners have contended that utensils for the parties are loaded and unloaded early in the morning, which creates a lot of noise and disturbs sleep of the people living near the community hall. The visitors park their vehicles in a haphazard manner, which aggravates the traffic problem posed by the construction work for Namma Metro.

The petitioners contended that these parties are not cultural or social functions, but private parties, that too held without permission. They alleged that the BBMP and the deputy health officer are aware of this problem but have not taken any action.

The case came up for hearing before the division bench headed by Chief Justice Vikramajit Sen. Taking note of the matter, the high court issued notices to the BBMP, deputy health officer of Govindarajanagar range, and the organisers of the community hall—Griha Kalyana Kendra Samaja Sadana.
