The Madras High Court upholds Tamil Nadu's regulations on online real money games, including Aadhaar KYC and nighttime gaming ban, to protect public health.

Madras HC Upholds Online Gaming Regulations

Madras HC supports Tamil Nadu's regulations on online real money games, confirming Aadhaar verification and gaming curfew to protect public welfare.

Madras High Court upholds Tamil Nadu regulations on online real money games, endorsing Aadhaar KYC and overnight gaming ban.

The Madras High Court on Tuesday declined to dilute the norm of age verification through Aadhar for playing online real money games and upheld restrictions including the ban from midnight to 5 AM to play such games.
A division bench comprising Justices SM Subramaniam and K Rajasekar dismissed a batch of petitions filed by Head Digital Works Private Limited, New Delhi and five other online gaming companies.
The petitioners' prayer was to declare as unconstitutional the Tamil Nadu Online Gaming Authority (Real Money Games), Regulations 2025 enacted by the Tamil Nadu Online Gaming Authority.
They challenged the regulation of KYC verification for the initial login with Aadhar and also the imposition of a 'blank hour' from 12 midnight to 5 AM, a period of ban to play online real money games.
The bench said: "The Writ Petitioners have not made out a case to grant the relief of declaration as such sought for in the writ proceedings". The court was of the view that any online games or online entertainment was subject to regulation when it affects the public health of people at large.
The state cannot remain a mute spectator when the population at large was exposed to serious physical, mental and financial risks due to a constant exposure to a specific online entertainment/games/trade.
In circumstances where a total prohibition was not possible at least a minimum of regulation becomes a necessity, the bench added.
Article 19(1)(g), on the right to practice any profession/occupation, is subject to reasonable restrictions and the rights of the people must be balanced with the individual right to conduct trade.
This Article cannot be used to deter the people&rsquo;s right to life under Article 21. The court ought to take into consideration the rights of the people as well, who were the players engaged in playing the online real money games.
Their rights were also enshrined under the Constitution, and they deserve protection from the state.
There have been several reports on the negative effects on the physical, mental, and financial aspects of a player --of online real money games-- who in essence was not playing with another human but a pre-programmed computer. Hence, it would be only fair to ensure the right to life under Article 21 of the player was protected.

'They are not courts': Madras HC on 'Khula' certificates issued by private bodies like Shariat Council

"They are not courts or arbitrators of disputes. The courts have also frowned upon such practice...," the court held.

&nbsp;It is open for a Muslim woman to exercise her inalienable right to dissolve marriage by 'Khula' (divorce proceeding initiated by wife) by approaching a family court and not private bodies such as a Shariat Council, the Madras High Court has ruled.
Private bodies cannot pronounce or certify dissolution of marriage by Khula.
"They are not courts or arbitrators of disputes. The courts have also frowned upon such practice...," the court held.
Such Khula certificates issued by private entities are hence invalid. "Khula is the form of divorce conferred upon wife similar to talaq conferred upon the husband." In his judgement on a writ petition by a man who prayed for quashing the Khula certificate issued to his wife, Justice C Saravanan quashed the impugned certificate issued in 2017 by Shariat Council, Tamil Nadu Towheed Jamath
The Madras High Court granted an interim stay in Bader Sayeed Vs Union of India, 2017 and restrained bodies such as the respondents in that matter (Kazis) from issuing certificates certifying dissolution of marriage by Khula, the judgment said.
