Dance bar owners and dancers are a happy lot.

For, senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani has offered to appear in the Supreme Court on their behalf. And that too free of cost.

“The bar dancers and owners have been victimised by the state government’s harsh decision of banning dance bars across Maharashtra.

“The ban on dance bars is totally unfair and a violation of the fundamental rights of bar dancers to a livelihood,” Jethmalani said.

Manjit Singh Sethi, who is leading the dance bar owners’ group, said the matter would come up for hearing in two weeks.

“We have requested Jethmalani to defend us in the Supreme Court,” he said.

On April 12, a division bench of Bombay High Court had quashed the state government’s move to ban dance bars.

Dance bars in the state were banned on August 15, 2005, by an amendment introduced by the state government in the Bombay Police Act.
