HC grants permission to re-open Spa centres, says follow COVID-19 guidelines

  

On Monday, the High Court of Delhi directed Spas centres to follow the conditions imposed by the Delhi Govt keeping in view of COVID-19 while granting permission to re-open the centres in Delhi.

Appearing for Delhi Govt, Lawyer Naushad Ahmed Khan told Justice Rekha Palli that on July 24, Delhi Govt has allowed the reopening & functioning of Spas Centers in the national capital with certain conditions. The Court observed that nothing further survive in the plea & disposed of it.

On July 24, the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) has permitted the reopening of spas in the national capital with certain conditions. The Court directed that all Spa centres will abide by the conditions as directed by DDMA.

In the last hearing, appearing for Delhi Govt, advocate Naushad Ahmed Khan, has said that the matter is under active consideration by the concerned authorities & a balanced view would be taken keeping in view of COVID-19 & the plight of petitioners.

The Court was hearing various pleas relating to reopen & permit the functioning of a spa in Delhi.

 

One of the pleas was filed by Delhi Wellness Spa through Lawyer HD Thanvi, which sought to reopen & permit the functioning of a spa in the national capital saying that a lot of people in this profession are starving.

Earlier Pritam Raj & Manish Upreti Directors of Ayur Thai Spa & Revive Spa has approached Delhi High Court seeking issuance of guidelines for reopening the Spa centers & also challenged the guidelines dated 26.06.2021 issued by Delhi Govt through Delhi Disaster Management Authority by virtue of which salons & Gymnasiums & Yoga institutions have been allowed without application of mind & is highly discriminatory as similar services like masseur services through Urban Clap & Salons are operational as on date, plea states.

Spa centres give direct & indirect employment to lakhs of therapists, specialists, assistants, centre management employees, cleaners, goods suppliers, etc. who are severely affected due to the pandemic.

 

Due to arbitrary prohibitory orders against the reopening of Spas the Petitioners are financially overburdened due to overdue rents, staff salaries, property tax, & miscellaneous expenditures, said the petition filed by Pritam Raj & others through advocate D.Vashish.
