New Delhi, September 7

The Supreme Court (SC) has stayed the Karnataka High Court’s order quashing an intimation notice of the Goods and Service Tax department seeking Rs 21,000 crore from Gameskraft, an online gaming platform.

Issuing notice on a petition filed by the Directorate General of GST Intelligence, a Bench, led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, on Wednesday asked Gameskraft to respond to it and posted the matter for hearing after three weeks.

The Directorate General of GST Intelligence has challenged the May 11 Karnataka High Court which ruled that ‘rummy’, whether played with stakes or without stakes, was not gambling.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
