The FIR and final reports did not allege that the occurrence took place in a common gaming house within Section 2(a), or that the premises were used in the manner contemplated by the Act. In the absence of these basic ingredients, the statutory presumption and penal provisions could not be invoked, and the charge was held legally unsustainable.
