Gambling
has been a contentious topic in India, with a complex and evolving legal
framework. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the legality of
gambling in India, exploring historical perspectives, relevant laws, judicial
interpretations, and recent developments. The article aims to shed light on the
nuances of gambling-related regulations and their implications for individuals
and businesses involved in the industry.
Furthermore,
according to the renowned Black's Law Dictionary, the term 'gamble' is
expounded as "to play, or game, for money or other stake;
hence to stake money or other thing of value on an uncertain event. It involves
not only chance, but a hope of gaining something beyond the amount played."
Gambling,
as an activity involving the wagering of money or something of value on an
event with an uncertain outcome, has long been a part of human civilization. In
India, gambling has historical roots, with references dating back centuries.
However, its legal status in the country has been subject to fluctuating
viewpoints and legal actions.
What is the Law which
governs Gambling in India?
The
Public
Gambling Act, 1857 (hereinafter referred as “Act”) is a central act
which governs gabling in India. However, as Gambling is a generic term,
different states have enacted laws as per the power under Entry 34 of the State
List as enumerated in the Constitution of India, 1950.
Is Gambling Legal in
India?
The word “Gambling” is a generic term which includes many forms of the same. The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in various pronouncements has held that unless the game in question is not purely a game of chance, it would not be illegal. The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in State of A.P. v. K Satyanarayana, (1968) 2 SCR 387, has held that, "The "three card" game which goes under different names such as "flush', "brag" etc. is a game of pure chance. Rummy, on the other hand, requires certain amount of skill because the fall of the cards has to be memorised and the building up of Rummy requires considerable skill in holding and discarding cards. We cannot, therefore, say that the game of rummy is a game of entire chance. It is mainly and preponderantly a game of skill." This observation by the Supreme Court has been further applied in many cases subsequently.
Also,
the Hon’ble Madras HC in KR. Lakshmanan (Dr) v. State of T.N., (1996)
2 SCC 226 has observed that, "that
a game of skill is distinct from a game of chance and if there is the
preponderance of the skill element involved, then the concerned activity would
be protected by Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution and that competitions
involving a game of skill must be regarded as business activities". It
was also observed with regard to game of skill that, “one in which success primarily depends upon the superior knowledge,
training, attention, experience and adroitness of the player”
What is a game of skill
and a game of chance?
Game of
Chance |
Game of
Skill |
In a Game of Chance the result
predominantly depends upon a random factor. The aspect of skill is present in
these games but chance plays a critical role in success. |
A Game of Skill basically means that the
game in question is based on the physical or mental expertise of a player.
The result of such game shall predominantly depend upon the expertise/skill
the player shows during its course. |
Therefore if the game in question comes under the purview of Game of Skill, PUBLIC GAMBLING ACT, 1867 does not apply and henceforth the said activity becomes legal (Subject to the specific laws in respective states in India).

Introduction:
In India, the legal profession offers a myriad of opportunities for aspiring
lawyers. One such avenue is becoming a legal advisor. A legal advisor provides
expert counsel on legal matters, guiding individuals and organizations through
complex legal frameworks. This article outlines the essential steps and
considerations for individuals looking to embark on the journey of becoming a
legal advisor after completing their LLB degree.
Who is a Legal Advisor?
A legal advisor, also known as a legal consultant or legal counsel, is a
professional who provides expert legal advice and guidance to individuals,
businesses, organizations, or governments. Legal advisors play a crucial role
in helping their clients navigate complex legal issues, understand their rights
and responsibilities, and make informed decisions within the framework of the
law.
Key
Responsibilities of a Legal Advisor:
General Procedure in
becoming a Legal Advisor in India:
Step
1: Attaining an LLB Degree: The
first crucial step is to obtain a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree from a
recognized law school or university. The LLB program equips students with
foundational legal knowledge and skills necessary for a successful legal
career.
Step
2: Register with Bar Council: To
practice law in India, you need to register with the State Bar Council. This
registration is essential to legally offer advisory services to clients.
Different states have their respective Bar Councils, and registration
requirements may vary slightly. Having experience as a practicing advocate will
enhance your credibility as an advisor due to the experience you shall hold.
Step
3: Gain Practical Experience: After
completing the LLB degree, aspiring legal advisors should aim to gain practical
experience. Joining law firms, legal departments of corporations, or practicing
under senior advocates as an intern or junior associate can provide invaluable
insights into real-world legal scenarios.
Step
4: Pursue Specialization: While a
general LLB degree is a prerequisite, specializing in a specific area of law
can enhance your expertise and marketability as a legal advisor. Common areas
to consider include corporate law, intellectual property law, family law,
criminal law, and more. Specialization enables you to offer focused guidance to
clients within your chosen domain.
Step
5: Enroll in a Master's Degree Program
(Optional): Though not mandatory, pursuing a Master's in Law (LLM) can further
enhance your knowledge and credibility as a legal advisor. An LLM offers
advanced education in specialized legal areas and is particularly valuable if
you aim to provide specialized advisory services.
Step
6: Obtain Practical Training
(Optional): Completing practical training programs, such as those conducted by
bar councils or legal associations can provide exposure to the practical
aspects of legal practice. These programs often involve mock trials, legal
research, and client interactions, enriching your practical skills.
Step
7: Build a Network: Networking is
crucial in the legal profession. Attend legal seminars, conferences, workshops,
and bar association events to connect with fellow professionals, mentors, and
potential clients. Networking helps you stay updated on legal developments and
build a client base.
Conclusion: Becoming a legal advisor after completing an LLB degree in India requires a combination of education, practical experience, specialization, and networking. The journey involves continuous learning and adaptation to stay current with the evolving legal landscape. By following the steps outlined in this article, aspiring legal advisors can pave the way for a successful and fulfilling career in providing expert legal counsel to individuals and organizations.

Under the Real Estate
(Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, a buyer may file a case and send legal
notice to the builder for delay in possession, or they can move their case from
a CDRC to the State Real Estate Regulatory Authority. This Act requires a
builder to pay 10% interest on the property's worth for delayed possession of
units. Home buyers who are dissatisfied with their purchases have three options
for resolving their complaints:
Real Estate Regulatory
Authority (RERA):
RERA is a specific
court for resolving real estate issues. Its appellate authority, the RERA
Appellate Tribunal, has jurisdiction over all real estate cases. Complaints
under RERA can be made for any claim amount; however, if the occupancy
certificate has already been obtained, a complaint cannot be filed. It permits
buyers to receive a 100% refund of their investment with interest or monthly
interest until the builder hands over possession.
Consumer Forum:
The Consumer Protection
Act,2019, allows buyers to file a complaint against the builder for "deficiency
in service." With its Appellate Body, District Forum to the SCDRC
(State Consumer Dispute Resolution Commission), the SCDRC to the NCDRC
(National Consumer Dispute Resolution Commission), and the NCDRC to the Supreme
Court. Buyers can make complaints in the Dispute Forum for up to Rs. 1 Crore,
while filing complaints in SCDRC for Rs 1 Crore to Rs. 10 Crore and in NCDRC
for more than Rs. 10 Crore. It allows consumers to receive a refund with
interest or possession with a delay as compensation for mental harassment,
litigation fees, etc.
National Company Law
Tribunal (NCLT):
If the builder is
unable to continue or complete the real estate project, the buyer may commence
insolvency procedures under the 2016 Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. This
well-established law, with its appellate authority, the National Company law
Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), resolves issues for registered companies in bad
financial standing with a disputed amount over Rs. 1 lakh.

Over 50 million widows
are believed to live in India. Society has to treat such a percentage of women
with equal respect, recognising their rights that these women are unaware of.
Inheritance rights of widows on their husband's property is one such privilege
that widows fail to capitalise on due to a lack of legal information.
After her husband's
death, a woman retains property rights based on how he earned ownership, which
might be self-acquired or ancestral. Once the property's title has been
determined, the next question is what kind of ownership that the couple shared
before to the husband's death.
Inherited rights based
on the form of acquires and religion:
· Hindu
Law
According to the Hindu
Succession Act of 1956, a wife can inherit the property of her husband after
his death intestate.
· Self-Acquired
The legal heirs of a
male dying intestate receive his property after his death, and the wife, who
falls under the Class I heirs’ category, receives the husband's property after
his death equally or in a share specified in the husband's testament.
· Ancestral
Property
A wife has no legal
rights to her husband's ancestral property as her own; nevertheless, she can
claim a portion of her husband's estate after his death from her in-laws.
· Christians
The property is deemed
self-acquired regardless of how it was obtained. Along with his other legal
heirs, the wife has a claim to the property.
· Muslims
If there are children,
the wife receives one-fourth of the husband's property; if there are no
children, the wife receives one-eighth of the husband's property.
The Remarriage Act of
1856 recognised a widow's rights to her husband's property
All rights and suits
that a widow may have in her deceased spouse's property should be contingent on
her remarriage. The beneficiaries of her deceased spouse, or any other person
entitled to the property upon her death, shall be the same.
However, the Hindu
Succession Act of 1956 abolished this Act. Widows who choose to remarry have a
right to the property of their deceased spouse.
Section 2 of the Hindu
Remarry Act of 1856 states that
The rights of a widow
in the property of a deceased spouse are determined by the termination of their
marriage (when she remarries). All claims and interests a woman may have in the
property of her deceased husband:
·
By keeping.
·
Or by legacy to her spouse or the
successor of that Property.
·
Or by any will consult upon her.
·
Without giving consent to marry again.
Key Provisions Relating
to Widow's property rights
·
According to the Hindu Widow's
Remarriage Act of 1856, any claims and rights that a widow may have in her
deceased spouse's property must be based on the termination of her remarriage
and the other legal heirs of her spouse or other person entitled to have an
interest in the demised one's property.
·
According to the Hindu Succession Act of
1956, women who remarry retain the right to their deceased spouse's property.
Her part of the property is not affected by her marital status.
·
Hindu law held the legal necessity as a
state in which women whose spouse passed away had the ability to sell their
property. These were instances in which she required funds to make grants or to
carry out rites in memory of her marriage. This legal need includes the costs
of the daughter's wedding.
Hindu widows' claim to
their spouse's property
Where immovable
Property is purchased by a Hindu widow in possession of her deceased spouse's
inheritance out of the proceeds of the inheritance, such Property does not
always emerge into a pile of the husband's Property. Throughout her life, the
widow has complete control over it. Still, it is only feasible if she treats it
as an accumulation of her spouse's inheritance or leaves it undisposed of upon
her death. As a result of such inheritance, that Property will evolve.
A widow in sole possession
of her spouse's estate is not required to account to anyone. However, she is
free to do whatever she wants with the Property during her lifetime, as long as
she does not harm the revision.
If a man dies leaving more than one widow, the property might be divided in court according to the share. The court may order them to divide a portion of their property. Other than that, they can divide it as a mutual agreement. Yet, they have no right to divide the Property in the proper sense. One's share of the Property will go by the right to the other.

The
Hindu Succession Act, 1956 governs the division of a father's property after
his death in India. This law covers the allocation of property in cases of
intestate succession, i.e., when the father dies without leaving a will, and it
applies to Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs.
According
to the Hindu Succession Act, a Hindu father's property is divided equally among
his Class I heirs, who comprise his widow, children (including daughters), and
mother.
If
any of the Class I heirs are not alive or passed away before the father, their
share will be distributed to their own lawful heirs. For example, if a daughter
outlives her father, her children are entitled to her half of the property.
If
no Class I heirs are present the property will transfer to Class II heirs,
which comprise the father's father, brothers, and sisters. If any of the Class
II heirs are not alive or have died before the father, their share will be
distributed to their own lawful heirs.
It
is vital to remember that if the father has left a Will, the terms of the Will
will control the division of his property.
Son's
Legal Rights in His Father's Property
The
Hindu Succession Law divides property for the purpose of succession into
ancestral and self-acquired property, and the rights associated with each
differ.
·
Rights of a son if the property is
inherited
As
a son is a joint owner of ancestral property, inheritance rights to sons accrue
from the time of birth. A son has the right to file a partition claim for his
rightful share of the property throughout his father's lifetime. Furthermore,
he may sell his half of the ancestral property to any other party prior to the
legal partition of the property.
·
Son's rights if the property is
self-acquired
In
the instance of self-acquired property, the father has the right to give or
will the property to whomever he sees suitable, and the daughter has no right
to object. Thus, if the property is a self-acquired property of the father and
he has gifted or willed such property to someone by his own free will, without
coercion, undue influence, fraud, or misrepresentation, no right to the
property can be claimed.
Legal
Rights of a Daughter in Her Father's Ancestral Property
Previously,
only male members of the Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) had a claim to the
ancestral property. However, with the change to the Hindu Succession Act in
2005, a Hindu female has the same entitlement to ancestral property as a Hindu
male. Women were likewise made coparceners in the HUF establishment by the
aforementioned legislation.
Self-acquired
property, on the other hand, has been characterised as property obtained by an
individual from his own means or by any property earned through his share in
ancestral property. An owner of a self-acquired property has complete freedom
to dispose of the property in any way he sees fit, and the legal heirs have no
alternative.
The
Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, which took effect on September 9, 2005,
repealed laws that were discriminatory towards Hindu daughters' inheritance
rights and granted them the same coparcenary rights as sons. In addition, if a
married Hindu daughter is deserted, divorced, or widowed, she has the right to
stay in her father's house.
Furthermore,
until recently, the rights provided to daughters under the 2005 amendment were
thought to apply solely in circumstances where a woman's father was alive on
September 9, 2005 (the date the amendment went into effect). This meant that
women whose fathers died before September 9, 2005 were denied the coparcenary
rights as stated in the 2005 amendment.
Following
several divergent opinions within the Indian judiciary on the subject of
retrospective applicability of the amendment, the Supreme Court recently in
August 2020 brought the matter to a quick conclusion making the amendment
applicable retrospectively to all cases, regardless of the date of 09.09.2005.
This final phase has totally eliminated any distinction between the rights of
daughters and sons to their father's property under the Act.
Procedure
for distributing Father's Property among heirs:
The
procedure for dividing family property in India is determined by the individual
circumstances and the applicable legislation. The following are the general
procedures for dividing family property in India:
· The
first stage is to identify the family's ancestral and self-acquired property.
Ancestral property is property that has been passed down via generations
without being divided among family members. Self-acquired property is property
acquired by a family member by their own work, inheritance, or gift.
· If
family members cannot agree on how to divide property, a partition suit may be
brought in court. The partition lawsuit tries to divide the property among the
rightful heirs. Depending on the nature of property and state rules, the suit
may be filed in a civil or revenue court.
· The
court can require a valuation of the property to ascertain its fair market
value.
· The
court may distribute the property among the rightful heirs in proportion to
their part of the property. The property may be divided physically or by paying
monetary compensation to the legal heirs who do not obtain physical possession
of the property.The following step is to identify the family's legal heirs. The
surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased family member, in
addition to any other family members who may have a legal claim to the
property, are considered legal heirs.
· Once
the property has been divided, the legal heirs must register the property in
their names.
While
aiming to ensure the right to equality, the Supreme Court of India recently
ruled in Vineeta Sharma vs Rakesh Sharma (2020) 9 SCC 1 that a
daughter coparcener would have equal HUF (Hindu Undivided Family) Properties or
equal right to family property by birth, regardless of whether the father, i.e.
a coparcener, died before September 9, 2005 (the day when the Parliament
recognised a daughter's right to equal coparcenary as a son by amending the
Hindu Succession Act 1956). The Three-Judge Bench stated that the daughter's
right was granted by her birth and would be unaffected by the date of her
father's death. This judgement clarified the legality and extent of Section 6
of the Hindu Succession Act 1956, as amended by the Hindu Succession
(Amendment) Act 2005.
It is important to note that the procedure for family property division may vary depending on the specific circumstances and the applicable laws. For more information, you can contact us via email at info@soolegal.com or +91 9810929455.
