Chennai, Feb 21: The police cannot force eateries to close down the shutters and restrain them from doing their business late in the night, the Madras High Court has ruled.
Justice Krishnan Ramaswamy gave the ruling recently while allowing a writ petition from S Gunaraja, who sought to quash an order of the Kilpauk police and consequentially forbear the police from interfering with his running an eatery in the city during late night hours.
The judge pointed out that the right of the hotel/restaurant owners to run his business or trade is guaranteed under Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution.
The right of the customers to consume food, is also a part of Article 21. (PTI)
