2023 (1) TMI 1127 - HC - GSTBetting/gambling - Actionable claim - whether nature of gaming services as provided by it is in the nature of services or an actionable claim or not? - HELD THAT:- A Division Bench of this Court in CHANDRESH SANKHLA VERSUS THE STATE OF RAJASTHAN AND OTHERS [2020 (2) TMI 1062 - RAJASTHAN HIGH COURT] in respect of a similar company Dream11 which also provided gaming services online held that the issue is no longer res-integra and as such gaming services are not in the nature of betting/gambling. Some of the games offered by the petitioners online have already been held to be games of skill rather than that of chance or that of betting/gambling. Thus when the matter is so settled by various Courts, the issuance of the impugned show cause notice is nothing but an abuse of the process of law. Accordingly, we call upon the respondents to file counter affidavit to the writ petition within a period of one month from today. The writ petition is directed to be listed for admission/final disposal immediately thereafter.
