If they receive any intimation, the police may enter the club and verify the same and proceed further if the members and guests of writ petitioner’s cultural center play other than the game of rummy with stakes/syndicate (13 card game). The police authorities are also at liberty to proceed with the cases, which are already registered.” Following the same, the present writ petition is also disposed of in the above terms.
