The case arose out of the Kerala State Government’s orders in 2005 which purported to make the State a ‘lottery-free’ zone, later allowing sale of paper lotteries managed by the State Government, however, online and computerized lotteries continued to be prohibited. The Court noted that given the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998 was introduced with the intention of suppressing mischief of lottery the State could choose to prohibit partially or wholly any lottery activity.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Relevant : B.R.
