A Division Bench of Chief Justice NV Anjaria and Justice KV Aravind pronounced the order today on a writ appeal filed by the State government against the single-judge order.
The Court concluded that the State had presented a strong prima facie case and that it appeared to have refused to grant a license to conduct horse racing and betting for germane reasons.
"The order of single-judge is hereby suspended and stayed.
The respondent-original petitioner club is prohibited from conducting on-course and off-course horse racing and betting even during the pendency of the petition (challenging refusal to grant licence), subject to the outcome of the petition," the Court said today while dictating the operative portion of the order.
