THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.11394 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner states that he ekes out his livelihood by arranging skill games such as ring throw, ball box, video games, dart throw and steel games etc., as a mobile vendor. He states 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. He also asserts that he is not indulging any other activities prohibited either under the Act or any other legislation. Yet, the petitioner complains, the officials of the respondents are interfering with his legitimate activities and not permitting him to pursue his 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 petitioner, in respect of exhibition of skill games such as ring throw, ball box, video games, dart throw and steel 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 petitioner. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J Date: 12.05.2010 Nn/va
