Betting Apps Case: People Are Voluntarily Participating, Observes Supreme Court While Hearing PIL Seeking Ban or Regulation for Offline and Online Betting Apps; Issues Notice to Centre
The Supreme Court, hearing a plea to ban online and offline betting apps, noted people participate voluntarily and issued a notice to the Centre, saying a law may not fully stop such activities.
On a plea seeking a ban or regulation of all online and offline betting apps, the Supreme Court sent a notice to the Centre on Friday. Evangelist Dr. KA Paul filed the petition, claiming that these platforms encourage gambling and are destroying the lives of millions of young people. While acknowledging the gravity of the problem, a bench made up of Justices Surya Kant and NK Singh said that imposing a total ban through legislation might not be totally successful. Justices Surya Kant noted that, "People are voluntarily doing these things. What can be done? Principally, we are with you, it should be stopped...but probably you are under a misconception that it can be stopped through a law. Just like we can't stop people from committing murder, despite the law. According to the court, it will wait for the Centre's response and, if necessary, may send notices to every state. The issue is currently being further examined. Betting Apps Scam: YouTuber Anvesh Says ‘Telangana DGP and Several IAS Officers Involved in INR 300 Crore Betting Scam’, Booked.
