The Supreme Court has issued notice to all the states, considering the ban on online betting as an important public interest issue. The court has sought a reply in two weeks while hearing the petition of KA Pal, in which a ban on online betting has been demanded because it is ruining the lives of youth. The court will consider the interim order in the next hearing.
The Supreme Court has served notice to all the states, terming the prohibition on online betting as a matter of larger public interest, and asked for a response within two weeks.

This order has been issued by a bench led by Justice Suryakant after considering the case. KA Pal has asked for an online betting ban in the petition and stated that as a result of this addiction, lakhs of youths have been destroyed, and their families are suffering.

While arguing on the matter himself today, Pal also said that if the court bans the advertisement of online betting in an interim order, then online betting will also stop to a great extent. But the court said that it will consider the demand for an interim order in the next hearing.
However, the court told the petitioner that he had raised an important and widespread public interest issue in the petition, and the court will consider it. On the other hand, a lawyer appearing on the other side told the court that another bench of the Supreme Court is hearing a case related to this.
In such a situation, the court told Pal to go and watch that hearing as well. However, the petitioner Pal said that the matter is different from the subject raised in this petition.
