HC strikes down law banning online gaming. Govt. restrained from interfering with online games business and allied activities of petitioners. The provisions of Sections 2, 3, 6, 8 and 9 of the Karnataka Police (Amendment) Act 2021 are declared to be ultra vires of Constitution of India.
The Bench has restrained the Government from interfering with the online gaming business and allied activities of the petitioners. The games are rummy, carrom, chess, pool, bridge, crosswords, scrabble and fantasy sports such as crickets. The Bench also observed that when a statute is obscure or admits plural meanings with little for a common citizen to choose between them, they operate as statutes of violence.
