New Delhi: In the encouragement for business pubs and restaurants, the Delhi High Court on Tuesday gave its conditional nod for the use of Hookah herbs at all of these outlets in the national capital, saying that Covid-19 restrictions could not be permitted to continue the cost of livelihoods.
Justice Rekha Palli, who heard a number of petitions by several restaurant owners and bars on restrictions in serving a stretch of herbal flavors, said the ban imposed because the pandemic could not last forever and noted that the authorities had allowed the Halls and swimming pool cinemas to function at full capacity.

The court directed the government to submit his response and asked him to call whether other restaurants and bars approached it for the same permission.
Applicants argue that they serve Herbal Hookah where there is no license needed because they are truly without tobacco, but the police are still doing raids, seizing equipment, and removing Challan.
The applicant has challenged the commission commission with the police (license unit).
The government argues that allowing hookah consumption in public places may spread Covid because people will share them.
“Now you have opened everything.
Cinema Hall, full capacity.
Swimming pool, full capacity.
You want to ban Hookah, you can do it, but not in Covid land,” said the Judge to the government advice Santosh Tripathi.
