Section 13A Goa Public Gambling Act | Central Notification Mandatory for Amendment Enforcement: Bombay HC Strikes Down Ultra Vires Licensing Actions
Bombay High Court rules that Section 13A of the Goa Public Gambling (Amendment) Act, 1992 remains unenforceable in Daman and Diu due to the absence of a Central Government notification. The judgment invalidates all administrative actions, including slot machine licensing denials, taken under the unnotified amendment, reinforcing the legal principle that delegated legislation requires formal notification to take effect.
