Gujarat HC to deliver poker legality judgment on 23rd November

The Gujarat High Court heard the of all poker clubs as well as the public prosecutor and state government counsel for a few hours over the span of three hearings- i.e. on 15th, 18t🅺𒀰h and 19th September.

Senior Counsels Mihir Thakore and SV Raju, India Poker Association Secretary KN Suresh (appearing as petitioner in person) as well as the gov😼ernment counsel argued at length about the manner in which the game of poker is played, case laws, statutory provisions as well as International precedents.

A single judge bench comprising of Justice Rajesh Shukla reserved its order on the legality ꦺof the game of poker, whether the elem🌱ent of skill outweighs chance and whether it can be played for stakes in clubs across Gujarat.

Justice Shukla also announced that the order will be delivered on 23rd November. The order of the Gujarat High Court is likely to have a significant ಞimpac🧸t on the future of online and offline poker in India.

Petitio𒅌ner clubs have indicatꦑed that any adverse ruling in the matter would almost certainly be immediately challenged before a division bench of the High Court.
