Gujarat & Delhi High Courts Fix Dates For Poker Petitions

In his petition, Mutha claimed that the police had not taken into consideration the game that was being played at the time of the raid. He asked for quashing the criminal cases against him as he was playing poker and poker involves skill, which exempts it from ‘gambling’ under the Delhi Public Gambling Act. This is regardless of whether the game involves stakes or not. He also noted that various poker tournaments and leagues are being hosted by big companies without any issues.

In another related development, a division bench of the Gujarat High Court has also adjourned a similar hearing regarding the legality of the game of poker. The appeals filed by KN Suresh and others were scheduled to be heard on 3rd April but was adjourned to after the court vacation – 26th June 2018.
