Top court disapproves practice of gun firing in marriage ceremonies

The Supreme Court has disapproved the practice of gun firing to celebrate marriage ceremonies in some communities saying guns must be carried with sense of responsibility and are not meant to be used in social gatherings. ‘Everybody, who carries a gun with live cartridges and even others know that firing a gun and that too in presence of several people is an act that is likely to cause death, as indeed it did. Guns must be carried with a sense of responsibility and caution and are not meant to be used in such places like marriage ceremonies,’ a bench comprising justices BS Chauhan and S A Bobde observed.
