Gambling to be legal in India

Gambling to be legal in India

  A few years from here after, you could find a gambling house amidst our own locality. Reason! The Law Commission of India has recommended making gambling legal to stop `illegal gambling’. It advised that the money generated from such activities could be used for welfare schemes. It has also made few cautions along with the advice. Linking Aadhar and PAN card details was one of it. The commission said that such linkage would provide details of gamblers and set restrictions on the size of their gambling. These recommendations were made the Law Commission to the query by the Supreme Court which asked the commission whether it’s possible to make cricket betting legal. Well! The Commission seems to be more enthusiastic in applying the query to every procedure of gambling. Would have to wait for the response of Supreme Court as well as the government to these suggestions.

Search Warrant on Vijay Mallya

Search Warrant on Vijay Mallya

  Things don’t seem to be going in favour of Vijay Mallya. The liquor Baron who has tried to evade huge debt from 13 banks in India by absconding to London is being dealt strictly. The London courts too began to deal harshly with Mallya. They have now given a permission to enter the premises of Mallya and search for the needed documents. It is seem to be a positive approach by the court towards the Indian government. However the matter of extraditing Mallya is still in the process of arguments. The court will decide the matter of Mallya’s extradition to India by the end of this month. Recent setbacks in the court has forced Mallya to shed his silence and start blaming that the cases on him were politically motivated.

Bangladesh scores lowest total in 44 years

Bangladesh has created a rare record. But they can’t be proud of making it. Playing on the first day of their first Test against West Indies, they were bowled out for just 43 runs. This was the lowest total recorded in past 44 years. None of the batsman from Bangladesh could reach a double figure except for Liton Das (25).

World record by Virat Kohli

  Indian captain Virat Kohli has achieved yet another remarkable mile stone. He has reached the 200 run mark in T20 matches in just 56 innings marking him as the fastest achiever in the slot. Only three people were able to reach the 2000 run mark (New Zealand's Brendon McCullum and Martin Guptill and Pakistan's Shoaib Malik). However this is not the sole record of Virat as we all can expect. He has many `fastest’ records on his name. Interestingly he is the only batsman in history to average more than 50 in Test matches, ODI’s and T20’s simultaneously. With 35 centuries in his bag and a long career on sight, Virat is expected to break many records created by Sachin Tendulkar.
