Ensure women's safety before reviving night life: Bombay HC
Mumbai, Mar 14(IBNS) The Bombay High Court on Saturday asked Maharashtra government not to go ahead with its policy to revive the city's nigh tlife until adequate measures are taken to ensure the women's safety.
"Unless you study its impact on the safety of women, do not take a decision. If the state takes this decision then you should refer the matter to an expert committee," the court said as it heard a PIL regarding safety of women in the city.
The court directed the government to refer the policy to the Justice CS Charmadhikari committee, set up to address the issue of safety of women, for impact assessment.
It also wanted to know from the state government whether it has taken a policy decision of keeping the Mumbai's clubs and bars open all night. The court has given four weeks' time for reply.
"The state cannot be restrained from taking a decision on keeping bars and pubs open through the night but the state should ensure that there will not be tremendous pressure on police for this," it said.
