India’s Supreme Court adjourns Maharashtra casino law challenge
India’s Supreme Court adjourned for two weeks on 21 April a case seeking to revive Maharashtra’s Casinos Act and secure casino licensing rights in the state. The petitioner, Dyutbhumi Hotels and Resorts, argues that the 2023 repeal was unconstitutional; the court noted that the law had never been implemented and described revival as an impossibility.
The case could affect whether Maharashtra’s proposed casino licensing framework is revived.
