All Kerala Online Lottery Dealers Ass vs State Of Kerala & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the notifications issued by the State of Kerala under Section 5 of the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998, prohibiting the sale of online and computerized lottery tickets, while allowing paper lotteries. The Court found that the differentiation between paper and online lotteries was justified and did not violate any legal provisions. The appeals against the High Court's dismissal of the writ petitions were therefore dismissed, affirming the State's authority to regulate lottery sales within its jurisdiction.
