THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.11398 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners state that they eke out their livelihood by arranging skill games such as ring throw, ball box, video games, dart pin throw, gun shooting, steel glass shooting, steel article, and toys games etc., as mobile vendors. They state that these games involve skill and are thus excluded from the ambit of A.P. Gaming Act, 1974 (for short ‘the Act’) qua Section 15 of the Act. They also assert that they are not indulging any other activities prohibited either under the Act or any other legislation. Yet, the petitioners complain, the officials of the respondents are interfering with their legitimate activities and not permitting them to pursue their business of skill games. In these circumstances, the writ petition is filed for appropriate relief. Learned Government Pleader for Home concedes the legal position that the respondents are not entitled to interfere in any legitimate activity of a citizen, including the petitioners, in respect of exhibition of skill games such as ring throw, ball box, video games, dart pin throw, gun shooting, steel glass shooting, steel article, and toys games etc., which are games of skills. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents not to interfere with the legitimate business of the petitioners. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J Date: 12.05.2010 Nn/va
