LAHORE: Tired of all the noise during Independence Day celebrations, a citizen moved the Lahore High Court (LHC) seeking a ban on using plastic toy horns and whistles.

But the top court in the province rejected the citizen's plea, saying that it was not maintainable.

"August 14 — Independence Day — has passed. There is no reason to hear this petition now," the LHC remarked, dismissing the citizen's plea.
