After Tamil Nadu, the Karnataka Government has joined the bandwagon of petitioners on fantasy sports before the Apex Court, especially after the Karnataka High Court recently announced its verdict on the skyrocketing number of cybercrime incidents in the State. In February 2022, the Karnataka High Court, through a division bench comprising of Justice Krishna S Dixit and Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi, set the online gambling laws free of any contentious provisions. After this discourse, the State filed a Special Leave Petition in the Apex Court against the HC order.
