The Supreme Court recently termed as unfortunate incidents of celebratory firing at wedding ceremonies which often have “disastrous consequences”, a report that has great resonance said.

The court’s observations came in a judgment by which it set aside the conviction of a man, accused of killing another in celebratory firing at a wedding in 2016, under Section 302 (murder) of the IPC. It said that  celebratory firing during marriage ceremonies is unfortunate yet prevalent in our nation. This is an example of the disastrous consequences of such uncontrolled and unwarranted celebratory firing, the  bench stated.
