state vs bhanwar lal — 2/2026

SUMMARY The court convicted Bhavarlal (age 48) under Section 13 of the Rajasthan Prevention of Gambling Act (RPGA) for operating an illegal gambling operation in a public place on December 10, 2025. The prosecution proved through eyewitness testimony that the accused was found writing betting slips and possessed gambling materials (betting slips, pen) and ₹130 in cash without any license. Rather than imposing jail time, the court granted the accused the benefit of the Probation Act due to it being his first offense, admonishing him with a warning and ordering him to pay ₹100 as court costs, while confiscating the gambling materials.
