The Delhi High Court on September 6 said it will hear on September 20 a challenge to Delhi government’s guidelines banning cross-gender massage services and sought to know if any action has been taken against spas on this basis. Justice Rekha Palli, who orally observed that the ban was a policy decision of the government, asked the petitioner — Association of Wellness Ayurveda & Spa — to file an additional affidavit listing its members and the action taken by authorities pursuant to the guidelines. “I am not issuing notice for the present. Please file the document,” said the judge.More Related News
