Supreme Court agrees to hear pleas challenging new online gaming law
The Supreme Court will hear challenges to the 2026 Online Gaming Act. A PIL seeks a ban on online gambling platforms operating as social games. Lawyers must complete pleadings for the ongoing court proceedings. The Centre for Accountability and Systemic Change provided a list of 2,000 gaming apps. This action addresses widespread social and economic harm from betting applications.
The Supreme Court has proposed a pilot project to curb the growing number of uninsured vehicles in India, which currently stands at nearly 56% of all vehicles on the roads. The court directed that fuel be supplied only to vehicles with valid insurance, and that ANPR cameras be linked with insurance databases to automatically issue e-challans to uninsured vehicles.
The court also called for handheld devices to be provided to traffic police to check insurance status on the spot, longer mandatory third-party insurance for new vehicles, and faster disposal of pending motor accident compensation cases.
