The two contended that no overt acts were attributed to them and even if the material collected by police was taken as it is, no offence was made out against them, therefore the proceeding was liable to be struck down.

Striking down the prosecution of two dance bar customers, the Bombay High Court observed that no offence was committed by the two men who merely visited the bar where purportedly obscene dance moves were being performed by some women.
According to a report in the Hindustan Times, the petitioners - Rushabh Mehta (28), a resident of Vile Parle, and Adit Purohit (29), a resident of Andheri (West) - were apprehended by Santacruz police on January 21, 2017, from a dance bar. Both of them were rounded up by police along with bar staff and other customers.
