New Delhi : The Kerala High Court on Wednesday served notices to cricketer Virat Kohli, actors Tamannaah Bhatia and Aju Varghese, who are brand ambassadors of the game, over a plea filed against online rummy game.

A division bench of Kerala High Court headed by chief justice S Manikumar comprising justice Anil K Narendran on Wednesday (January 27) sent notices while hearing on a petition seeking to prevent online rummy games. It also asked reply from the Kerala government on this.

Pauly Vadakkan, a Thrissur native filed the petition, alleging that, “Online Rummy games are becoming more and more popular. It should be legally prohibited. Other states have done the same. Kerala has a 1960 law. But no other steps have been taken. It does not include the topic of online rummy. The stars, who are the brand ambassadors, attracted the audience and took part in the competition. Online Rummy is within the limits of gambling”.
