Supreme Court slams Maha govt, calls provisions `absurd, irrational`

Mumbai, Feb 25 (Zee News): The Supreme Court on Wednesday came down on the Maharashtra government for putting certain conditions for granting licences to dance bars across the state like providing live CCTV feed of performances to police and segregating the dance area from the restaurant.

"Why the stage should be covered from all sides? Why there should a non-transparent partition between dance area and restaurant area? The dance is an art," a bench comprising justices Dipak Misra and Shiva Kirti Singh said.

The bench was critical of some pre-requisites fixed by the state police for granting licences to dance bar owners and said the condition that there should be segregation of dance area from that of restaurant presumes that performance would be "obscene".

    I think there is a reason for putting conditions. You go to any police station in Mumbai between 12 midnight and 5 AM for registering any complaint, you will see one constable sitting half sleepy. He will say that saheb is either sleeping or in dance bar (reason is just for checking). If live performance of dancing and strip tease is shown thru CCTV, sahebs will not only be awake, their productivity in the night will improve. This, they could not tell to supreme court.
