Govt-appointed panel advocates complete ban on dance bars The Justice CS Dharmadhikari Committee, set up to recommend measures to curb crimes against women, has asked Maharashtra government to enforce a complete ban on dance bars and frame a policy to check vulgarity on social networking sites such as Facebook. In 2012, the Supreme Court had held the ban on dance in bars as unconstitutional. Maharashtra assembly had on June 13, 2014 passed a Bill to extend the ban on dance performances at high-end hotels and a host of other public premises, bringing to end a protracted legal battle over the issue which had generated a heated debate on moral policing.
