Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

I am lady owner of Massage Parlour (Spa) in Nagpur Maharashra. I came to know that recently Madras High Court has held that massage by opposite sex not illegal. I would like to know this ruling is applicable to all State or not so that I can run my spa business peacefully.

as the ruling is given by Madras High Court, so it is applicable only in the state of Tamil Nadu. once the opposite party goes in an appeal against the order in the Supreme Court, and then if SC upholds the verdict of Madras High Court, then the same would be applicable in the entire country.
