2020 (1) TMI 1636 - KARNATAKA HIGH COURTGambling or not - wagering - appellant contends that law permits a game of skills with wagering - Section 176 of the Karnataka Police Act, 1963 - HELD THAT:- The question of permitting wagering under any circumstance in law is impermissible. Gambling cannot be permitted under any law. A reading of the order of the learned Single Judge does not permit any kind of wagering even for a game of skill. Therefore, the aforesaid order passed by the learned Division Bench is being misread and we clarify by reiterating that even though it is a game of skill, there can be no wagering under any circumstance whatsoever. If the law permits playing of all games with skills or otherwise, even then playing any of these games with stakes or wagering is impermissible. Hence, there are no grounds to interfere with the impugned order passed by the learned Single Judge. Appeal dismissed.
