The chief minister says the SC has not issued an order to grant permits to dance bars under the old rules

What had come as an exciting piece of news for the 33 dance bars in the city, is once again going to face challenges, just the way it had earlier. A day after the Indian Hotel and Restaurant Association (IHRA) claimed that the Supreme Court has allowed dance bars to apply for licences under the old law, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis ruled out any initiative in the matter. He mentioned that the apex court had not issued any order to grant permits under the old rules.
