In Brief
The Indian Hotel & Restaurant Association challenged the conditions imposed by Maharashtra for granting dance bar licenses. The Supreme Court noted that an earlier order directing issuance of licenses within two weeks had not been fully complied with—only letters were issued, pending fulfillment of conditions. The petitioner contested conditions 1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 12, and 15 as unconstitutional. The Court directed the State to respond to these grievances and listed the matter for March 1, 2016, clarifying no adjournment would be granted.
