Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the Delhi Race Course Licensing (Amendment) Rules, 2001, affirming that the Central Government acted within its powers under Section 2 of the Union Territories (Laws) Act, 1950, and Section 11 of the Mysore Race Courses Licensing Act, 1952. The Court established that the licensing framework for horse racing is a valid exercise of legislative authority aimed at regulating and managing horse racing in Delhi. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the High Court's decision.
