Supreme Court asks Maharashtra government to issue dance bar lincences
The apex court had earlier, on October 15, stayed a law passed by the Maharashtra assembly banning dance bars.
The law banning dance bars - an amendment in the Maharashtra Police Act -had been passed in June 2014. Earlier in 2013, the top court had quashed a similar law banning dance performances.
Restaurant owners had challenged the 2014 amendment, arguing that the state was thwarting the intention of the court. The top court concurred, observing that although it had set aside a similar provision, the law had been brought back in a new manner.
