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. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J Date: 14.11.2011 MRKR
