Kerala High Court on Monday sets aside the State government action in banning Online Rummy played for stakes by including it in the Kerala Gaming Act. 1960.
Justice T.R. Ravi passed the verdict while allowing a few writ petitions filed by the companies engaged in the business of developing and offering online games, challenging the notification taking away the game from the purview of the Kerala Gaming Act.
The petitioners contended that the notification issued in 1976 had exempted Rummy from the provisions of the Kerala Gaming Act. However, the government by notification issued on February 23, 2021, had brought "Online Rummy played for stakes" under the Act.The government action amounted to a violation of their fundamental right to do business and therefore it was arbitrary and unreasonable.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country.
