HC upholds TN law regulating online real-money games
Chennai: A Tamil Nadu law regulating online real-money games like rummy and poker by introducing age, money, time and ad restrictions, besides two-stage Aadhaar-based verification, has been upheld by Madras high court . "In true essence, the online real money games is a trade activity, which, if left unregulated, has immediate implications on health of the public," a division bench of Justice S M Subramaniam and Justice K Rajasekar said on Tuesday. Bench made the observation while dismissing a batch of petitions moved by online gaming platforms challenging validity of restrictions. Refusing to concur with the platforms which contended that a state govt lacks power to bring in such restrictions, the court said, "Both the Union and state govts have power to enact laws in their own respective subject matter apart from the common pool as enabled in List III (concurrent list). This court cannot hold that state is barred from enacting laws regulating online real money games. It is covered under the subject matter of public health and sanitation which comes under List II (state list)," judges said. The argument that Information Technology Rules, 2021 already prescribe a regulatory framework for intermediaries, including online gaming platforms, and hence the state cannot frame a subordinate legislation is unacceptable, the court said. "This court views that the state is fully within its competence to enact laws pertaining to online real money games. This court on perusal of the provisions of the Act (state legislation) finds no contradictions or provisions that run contrary to the central rules in force," the bench said. Moreover, the provisions related to online gaming under IT Rules, 2021 is yet to take effect and remains unenforceable as of today. So there exists a vacuum in regulating online games, the court pointed out. The judges added that they are of the view that the state govt has rightfully taken adequate steps to fill in the vacuum by framing the legislation. Rejecting argument that mandatory Aadhaar verification violates privacy of a player, bench said, "Right to privacy carries with it its own limitations and cannot be claimed in absolute. When put on a scale, a compelling public interest outweighs right to privacy."

Poor cycling infra worries city pedallers
1 2 3 Guwahati: The city's cycling community has voiced concerns about insufficient cycling infrastructure and increasingly dangerous conditions for them. The Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) acknowledges the shortage of space for cycling facilities across the city. When questioned about dedicated bicycle stands in public areas, GMC mayor Mrigen Sarania said, 'GMC is interested in constructing dedicated bicycle stands, but due to lack of adequate space across the city, we have not worked on this yet. " Regular cyclists have highlighted their difficulties with safe cycling in the city. 'I ride a bicycle to my workplace every day out of compulsion to make my ends meet. But navigating Guwahati on a bicycle becomes more challenging each year," said Tiken Deka, who has been cycling to work for over five years. Deka added, "The complete absence of dedicated cycling lanes and the general disregard from motorists create a genuinely dangerous environment. " Arshel Akhter, the bicycle mayor of Guwahati appointed by BYCS, an Amsterdam-based NGO, suggested three key solutions — installing sufficient bicycle stands with proper shelters at commercial complexes, hospitals, hotels, transport hubs, and educational institutions; implementing WHO's recommended 30km per hour speed limit citywide to protect cyclists from speeding vehicles and increasing the city's tree coverage to benefit both cyclists and pedestrians. Prachujya Bora, another cycling enthusiast, said, "I regularly explore the city on my cycle, but most of the time I don't feel safe at all. It feels like I will get hit by a speeding car or bike, and I feel vulnerable to road rage because riding a cycle is seen as a disregard and makes me an easy target." He added, "In the city, it is quite rare to find a dedicated cycle stand to ensure safe parking of my cycle. With no other options left, I often use footpath railings or electric posts to lock my cycle."
