Skill or Luck? Karnataka HC Seeks Fresh Look at Andar Bahar Card Based Game
What Happened
The Karnataka High Court has referred the question of whether Andar Bahar is a game of skill or a game of chance to a larger bench. Justice Suraj Govindaraj questioned earlier rulings that treated the card game as skill-based, observing that once cards are shuffled, the outcome depends largely on chance.
Key Takeaways
The reference could have major implications for the game's legal status and regulation in Karnataka, as previous court decisions had largely classified Andar Bahar as a game of skill.
