BANGALORE: Following the Supreme Court's directive the city police will have to allow live bands to start functioning again.
Licence
In April this year the State Government passed an order empowering the city Police Commissioner to issue separate licences for places of live public entertainment. These included bars, nightclubs, and discotheques, where live music was played and the patrons allowed to dance or watch dancers.
`No illegal activity'
City Police Commissioner Ajai Kumar Singh said: "we will allow live bands only subject to the condition that they are not misused for illegal activities. We will also not allow obscene dances." There were close to 50 bars, which were licensed to provide live entertainment, before the ban came into force. According to the police there could have been some unlicensed establishments. Reacting to the apex court ruling, the manager of a bar, which used to have dancers, said that the Supreme Court decision would help them to run their business that was closed for the last six months.
