Can a business have the city/language name as part of name?

Legally there should be no problem, provided the contents do not offend the label.

If the business is registered as a Company under Companies act 1956 then its name shall be subject to name availability guidelines.

Also could you please tell me, under which Practice area do stuffs like Media, Entertainment business fall?

since the same shall be your trademark, you may have problems registering it with the registrar as it contains specific names of cities. 

Please put up cleary what you really want to ask are u asking for names of the companies under which you can carry on media/entertainment business?

Yes it legally acceptable, you can do this. But i suggest you to go to a proffesionsl laywer to know.

No Shraddha, I was wondering under which practice does media/ entertainment business falls?

Please correct me If I am wrong, I have heard that there are practices like, Intellectual Property, Real Estate, Taxation, Family law etc.

In the same way I wanted to know if there is any dedicated practice for the Media/ Entertainment business...

@ Mr . Sanjay...please read the act and also go through teh company's act and teh website of MCA. Further, also read the trademarks act.

Mr.Manish, Thge Acts says it all that only certain names and emblmes cannot be used by business and commercial establishments for registration purposes.

Where is the problem then??

@Sanjay Kumar

Thanks for that information friend. That was very helpful. Though there wasnt any mention about cities in the Act, as

Manish Singh, I feel there might be problems while registering.

Open question:

I saw somewhere, that one could have a trademark, even without registering it.

Can anyone own a trademark and have all rights associated with it, without registering the trademark?

@Vetri A Trademark need not be registered as such. But the rights available under the Trade Mark Act shall not be available to an unregistered Trade Mark. For example, one cannot penalise a person who infringes the unregistered Trade Mark.

as per thye notification issued by the MCA, you can not use cities name for your company.

Also, Mr. Sanjay...the said act as stated by you do not bar city's name for use of trade purposes. So better go and read first before opining anythinh hereunder.
