casestatus.in Summary

Summary of Hotel Priya v. State of Maharashtra The Supreme Court struck down licensing conditions restricting orchestra bar performances to equal numbers of male and female performers (4 each), finding the gender cap violates Articles 14 and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. While upholding reasonable overall limits on performer numbers (8 total) and stage dimensions, the Court held that gender-based restrictions are rooted in stereotypical views and patriarchal attitudes toward women performers, lack rational basis, and constitute impermissible discrimination unrelated to legitimate regulatory objectives.
