Judgment
The present Writ Petition is filed questioning the action of the respondents in interfering with the petitioner’s day to day activities as being illegal and arbitrary, and for a consequential direction to the respondents not to insist to close down the petitioner association and not to interfere with the lawful activities of the petitioner association and its members and their guests.
Operative part
At the request of both the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the Government Pleader for Home, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission itself. Learned Counsel, appearing on either side, would agree that the subject matter of this writ petition is covered by the order in W.P.No.24533 of 2011 and batch dated 09.09.2011 wherein this Court, while directing the respondents not to interfere with any card game of Rummy (a 13 cards game), whatever be the stakes, being played in the clubs, observed that the respondents were not precluded from entering into these clubs, from taking action in terms of Section 5 of the Andhra Pradesh Gaming Act, 1974 (for short, “the Act”) and, thereafter, to initiate penal proceedings under Sections 3 and 4 for violation of the provisions of the Act. This Court made it clear that the petitioner clubs should cause no hindrance to the respondents in exercising their statutory powers under Section 5 or any other provisions of the Act. This Writ Petition is also disposed of in accordance with, and in terms of, the order passed in W.P.No.24533 of 2011 and batch dated
09.09.2011. The miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall also stand disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________________
