Bengaluru: The trial at the petition batch that challenged the Police Amendment Law Karnataka, who seek to regulate online game activities, has been postponed until 11 November with an understanding that there is no preventive measure that will be taken against the applicant, including several players too.
The guarantee for this effect was provided by the Advocate General Prabhuling K Navadgi when the trial took place and remained inconclusive and the applicant was urgent for the provision of relief while limited vis-a-vis prosecution based on the New Amendment Act.
While asking for advice to submit the core of their argument for the interests of the court, justice Krishna S Dixit delayed the trial in the post-deepavali period.
Previously, continued his argument, Senior Advocate Abhishek Singhvi submitted that Rummy Online was a transparent activity because it was recorded digitally and contained several protection related to participation and registration of players.
According to him, the inclusion of the word “pure skill” in the new law almost means banning all skill game activities because there is no skill game or can be 100 percent pure as an element of opportunities embedded in all such games.
He added that the paternalism must be proportional and provide examples of cigarettes and immoral traffic actions, adding that the law does not prohibit tobacco or prostitution.
Quoting various assessments, Senior Advocates Sajan Poovayya said that they clearly exclude the skill game from the Ambit Legislation, while looking for protection from prosecution to the applicants based on the law.
