Petition challenging state’s decision dismissed; Federation of Retail Traders Welfare Association to appeal in the Supreme Court
The petition had challenged an amendment to the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2017, under which all shops and establishments have to display signboards in Marathi
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday said the Maharashtra government’s rule mandating shops and establishments display their names in Marathi (in the Devanagari script) was reasonable and refused to quash it.

The court dismissed the petition filed by FRTWA and imposed cost of Rs 25,000 on it.
