On Thursday, September 19, the Bombay High Court stated that a waiter in a Bar and Restaurant where women are dancing obscenely cannot be booked for the offence of "obscenity" as he or she is merely performing their duty of serving food and drinks as per their employment profile. The division bench of Justices Ajay Gadkari and Dr Neela Gokhale observed while quashing a First Information Report (FIR) against one Santosh Rodrigues, a resident of Malad in Mumbai. The court noted that Rodrigues was working as a waiter in the New Park Side Bar and Restaurant on April 14, 2016, when the Social Service Branch of the Mumbai Police conducted a raid and arrested several persons, including the petitioner. The FIR was lodged after noting that more than four women (Bar Girls) were found dancing in an "obscene" manner, and several customers were hurling notes at them, thereby encouraging them to make more obscene gestures.  ‘Go Approach NGT Then’: Bombay High Court Refuses Urgent Hearing of PIL Seeking Ban on DJ and Beam Lights During Eid-E-Milad.
