Chennai: Madras high court has reserved its verdict on a batch of appeals filed by online gaming platforms against a single judge order upholding Tamil Nadu govt's online gaming regulations.
The cases were heard by a division bench comprising Justice S M Subramaniam and Justice K Rajasekar. All parties submitted written arguments, following which the court decided to reserve its judgment on Tuesday.
The legal challenge pertains to the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Online Gambling and Regulation of Online Games Act, enacted in 2022, which aims to govern the conduct of online games in the state. State govt formalised the rules under this Act and published them in the official gazette on Feb 14.
Among the petitioners are Play Games 24x7 Private Limited, Head Digital Works, and the Esports Players Welfare Association. They contested the mandatory Aadhaar verification requirement for users and the rule prohibiting gameplay between midnight and 5am, citing concerns over privacy and operational restrictions.
