Gauhati HC Bans Illegal Lotteries in Assam

The Gauhati High Court directed the Assam government to ensure all District Commissioners (DCs) and Superintendents of Police (SPs) don’t permit offline or online lotteries. The court ordered strict action against violators. The directive came during a hearing on a PIL highlighting illegal lotteries in Assam. Authorities must issue the ban within a week and report back in six weeks.
