This dignifies decency and culture&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The bench distinguished between throwing money in cinema halls with showering of notes on women dancers at the bars.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is not the silver screen where you throw money. They are performers and there is certain dignity attached to them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Senior advocate Jayant Bhushan appearing for IHRA said the Act allows giving financial reward to singers but strangely prohibited the same for dancers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Handing over currency to dancers for their performances is just like giving a tip. This is allowed for singers and prohibited for the dancers,&#8221; Bhushan argued.<\/p>\n<p>The bench rejected the vehement contention of senior advocate Shekhar Naphade, representing Maharashtra, that the plea should not be entertained by the apex court and sent to the Bombay High Court for adjudication.<\/p>\n<p>During the brief hearing, the counsel for various hotels and dance bars objected to several provisions of the new law, including installation of CCTV cameras near performance areas.<\/p>\n<p>Bhushan termed as unconstitutional the provision which requires that no drinks would be served at a place where dancers would be performing in the bar.<\/p>\n<p>He also objected to a clause where bars are required to employ the dancers, saying a performer cannot be restrained from choosing places where she can perform.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why should a woman be forced to be employed. They are professionals. They are performers and can give their performances at any place of their choice,&#8221; Bhushan said.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A provision of a new Maharashtra Act to regulate obscene dance performances and prohibiting showering of money at dancers today found favour with the Supreme Court, which said the law respected &#8220;the dignity of woman and dignify decency and culture&#8221;.
