The Kerala High Court has ruled that the Radisson Blu hotel in Kochi may operate until 3 am, overturning police attempts to limit late‑night DJ events.
The Kerala High Court has granted the Radisson Blu hotel in Kochi permission to remain open until 3 am, rejecting a police directive that sought to curb late‑night DJ parties at the venue.
The bench held that the police order lacked sufficient legal basis and could not be imposed without clear statutory authority. Consequently, the curfew on music and dance events after midnight was set aside.
With the ruling, the hotel can continue to host DJ performances and other entertainment activities well into the early morning hours, a move welcomed by the hospitality sector and nightlife patrons in the city.
