The Madras High Court refused to stay the ordinance banning online gambling games.
The senior advocate P. S. Raman representing the petitioner, Junglee submitted that the corporation had been operating respectable enterprise throughout the nation.
The petitioner sought interim relief to stay the ordinance banning online gambling games.
The petitioner contended that when it is legitimate in other parts of the country, it cannot be banned as illegitimate in Tamil Nadu. Since 1968 the Supreme Court has made it clear that rummy is a game of skill and not a game of chances. Therefore, online rummy cannot be banned.
On the other hand opposing the plea of the petitioner, the respondent submitted that younger youngsters and adults of age group 25 to 30 are dropping their whole earnings and financial savings by enjoying such on-line betting video games.
The division bench of Justice R Subbiah and Justice C Saravanan while refusing any interim aid on the plea moved by an on-line gaming platform directed the state authorities to file its response by December 21.
