It further held that the ban operated prospectively only: lottery tickets already certified and brought into circulation before the operative date remained valid, because the statute provided no basis for retrospective annulment of completed authorised transactions. The Court also held that legitimate expectation, promissory estoppel, and proportionality could not override the statutory scheme, though pre-ban certified tickets could still proceed to sale and draw in accordance with that scheme. en-us Fri, 24 Jan 2003 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 18:53:07 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=161329 The HC held that a State Government order banning lottery sales, including State-run lotteries, was valid under the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998, and no constitutional infirmity was shown.
