The council seeks permission to present another issue of the case

Much obliged your Lordship

Greetings to the honorable council
This is the co-council appearing on the behalf of petitioner in the case of Indian hotels and
restaurant association v. State of Maharashtra
The co council shall be presenting the argument on the:

WHETHER THE DEFINITION OF OBSCENE DANCE DEFINE UNDER

SECTION2(8)(i) OF THE ACT IS PROPERLY DEFINED?

 Adverting specifically to those provisions of the Act and the rule which has been
challenged as unconstitutional. It is to be submitted that insofar as section2 (8) I is
concerned the definition of obscene dance contained therein is totally vague. The
definition of obscene dance includes a dance which is designed only to arouse the
prurient interest of the audience which is totally loose expression incapable of precise
meaning. Such a definition is susceptible to various perception depending on the
subjective opinion of the person concerned and therefore different person may reach
different conclusion after seeing the same dance performance. When obscene dance is
made as an offence under then act a vague definition of this term was anathema to the
principle of criminology and was opposed to the rule of law.

Council pleads ignorance
