4. The learned Assistant Govemment Pleader submits that the petitioners were permitted bY this Court, vide interim order dated business operations subject to certain to continue their 20 06.2017, specified conditions. lt is further submitted that, subsequent to the said order, no further contest or grievan@ has been raised by the petitioners' Accordingly, the learned Government Pleader plays for passing appropriate orders in the matter.

5. This Court, while granting the interim order dated 20'06'2017' had placed reliance on the interim directions issued in an identical matter' v'de Z order dated 05.02.2012 in W.P. No. 797 of 2O14 and batch, which read as follows "l am of the opinion that the Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad City, is entitted to take all reasonable measures for the prevention of indecent and immoral activities, particularly in rnassage centres. Therefore, instead of preventing the massage centres from operating their facilities, it is appropriate to observe that every massage centre must faithfully maintain a record containing the date-wise vistts of customers, their names, verifiable addresses, and phone numbers, so as fo enable the potice to contact them for verification pu4ooses, if necessary. lf any particular customer makes a special request to the owner, manager, or operator of the massage centre to provide asslsfance from the opposite sex, the same shall be duly recorded in the register maintained by the massage centre. It shatl be open to any police officer not below the rank of Sub-lnspector of Police aftached to any police station to verify, from time to time, the records maintained by the massage centres and to asceftain whether any customer has sought such specra/ service. Depending on the outcome of such veification, appropriate action may be taken in accordance with law."

6. lt thus appears that the above interim directions, by striking an ... appropriate balance between safeguarding public morality and protecting 3 the lawful business interests of massage centres' have effectively addressed the grievance of the petitioners'

7. I have perused the material available on record'
