Petition against lotteries: Our Bangalore Staff Reporter writes: The Karnataka High Court on Thursday adjourned the hearing on two writ petitions filed by the Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh governments seeking a stay on the Karnataka Government's order prohibiting the sale of lotteries belonging to other States.

When the petition came up for hearing, Umesh, an advocate, submitted an application seeking to implead himself in the two cases. The petitioner submitted that the High Court had issued notices to the authorities on a public interest litigation (PIL) filed earlier by him seeking a ban on Internet lotteries.

Justice H.L. Dattu observed that the petitions of Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh would be heard after considering the impleading application and adjourned the hearing.
