16.The Deputy Commissioner of Police, Triplicane District called for certain particulars from the petitioner regarding the renewal of the PRL. Based on the report of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Triplicane https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis/ District, a notice was issued to the petitioner listing out the ambiguities calling for his explanation. With regard to the contention of the petitioner that Hotels like Saravana Bhavan, Sangeetha, Adayar Ananda Bhavan and Vasanth Bhavan have not provided sufficient space for parking, is not correct. They have provided sufficient space for parking vehicles and permitted to run the Hotel only and not having PRL. The petitioner's Ellora Restaurant obtained Public Resort License, but not provided required space for running Indian Cultural Dance Program. The first respondent herein does not have any personal vendatta against the petitioner herein. Since the petitioner herein not cleared the ambiguities pointed out and complied to the norms prescribed, the application for issuance of Public Resort License was rejected and the order was passed on 23.09.2019. The petitioner's PRL License was misused to conduct dance of young ladies in front of predominantly male audience, thereby lowering the dignity of women. Advocate Commissioner Mr.Raghul in his report stated that parking space (A) is just a 10 x 22.5 ft area and space (B) 6.4x25.8 ft public road which cannot accommodate even a single car. Also the Valet parking space inspected by advocate commissioner is no longer available and for the reasons best known only to the petitioner, they entered into a new https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis/ agreement for parking, which is two streets away from the restaurant that to on a congested lane. In the heavily congested commercial area, even this small parking space identified by the petitioner cannot meet the required parking norms, as the identified parking area already houses commercial buildings, which themselves do not have adequate space for parking. There are around 1000 wholesale and retail shops with 4000 labours which are frequented by minimum 3000 floating population on daily basis in a given time and with this huge floating population, and public visiting the restaurant, the safety of dancer may not be ensured by the applicant. Also performance of dance events by the applicant in such congested and crowded area, sure to disturb public peace. The petitioner failed to comply the prescribed norms for issuance of PRL. Thus with these ambiguities, there is no possibility of granting license.
