This query is : Resolved
I have heard that demolition of cinema theatre is not permissible in Uttar Pradesh. I want to close and demolish a single screen cinema theatre. Please describe the procedure for that.

First talk to DM of district who has administrative control and policies will also be available. There is no suc law as cinema is not essential service .It all depends on zoning plan of town specifically with respect to locality and development needs. Cinema can also be brought down for renovation by making it multi floor complex .That is how concept of multiplexes have come up globally to come to create vertical shopping centers .I am sure you will get permission if you make out a good case. You can contact any experienced builder developer or even contact me with details site plans and alternate planes you have in mind. The reasons for government not to allow is that it is meant for low ticket lower middle class and poor entertainment. Every one cant go to 350 Rs 500 Rs tickets.in hi fi malls.

Dear Sir,
You may go through the relevant procedure under
THE UTTAR PRADESH CINEMATOGRAPH RULES, 1951, if there is no provision then approach the High Court under Article 226 of Constitution of India and seek special permission under the given circumstances, which you justify for demolition.
