Article 19(1)(c) & Tamil Nadu Gaming Act | Police Cannot Interfere in Recreational Clubs Without Gambling Evidence : Madras HC

Madras High Court rules that police interference in registered recreational clubs playing Rummy or Carom Board violates the right to association under Article 19(1)(c) unless there is concrete evidence of gambling. The judgment reinforces that mere suspicion does not justify infringement of constitutional freedoms, setting a precedent for protecting lawful recreational activities.
