When it comes to Units that are permitted to run in residential area: Reference can be made to the Master Plan for Delhi, 2021 which states that household industrial units with a maximum of 5 workers are allowed to run in residential areas subject to the condition that no polluting industrial unit shall be permitted as a house hold industry. As specified by you that the unit is creating noise pollution, it cannot run in a residential area. We believe that the option available to you is to register a complaint for noise pollution before the Pollution Control Board or register a complaint for noise pollution and public nuisance in the nearest Police Station and immediate action shall be taken. Public Nuisance has been defined under Section 268 of the IPC: "A person is guilty of a public nuisance who does not act or is guilty of an illegal omission which causes any common injury, danger or annoyance to the public or to the people in general who dwell or occupy property in the vicinity, or which must necessarily cause injury, obstruction, danger and annoyance to persons who may have occasion to use public right.
