Bombay High Court bars casino vessel from entering Goa port without permission
The Goa bench of the Bombay High Court issued an interim order on 6 May barring the MV Deltin Royale from entering Panaji Port without a valid seaworthiness certificate and express court permission. The state government told the court it would not amend the existing vessel licence in favour of the ship without first informing the bench; a further hearing is scheduled for 6 July.
The order restricts the casino vessel’s entry and requires court permission even if it obtains the required seaworthiness certification.
