India’s Supreme Court has decided to consider the nuts and bolts of loosening the country’s longstanding prohibition on sports betting.

On Friday, the Times of India reported that a bench of Supreme Court Justices Dipak Misra and A M Khanwilkar had agreed to hear a public interest litigation (PIL) regarding possible updates to the Public Gaming Act of 1867 to allow for the possibility of legal sports betting.

The Court reportedly intends to incorporate the betting question into a separate pending case on cricket reforms that followed the 2013 India Premier League fixing scandal. Last July, the Court directed India’s central government to consider legalizing sports betting as a means of detecting match- and spot-fixing and thus preserving sports integrity.

There’s a growing push within India’s legal community to modernize the country’s gambling rules. Last month, Balbir Singh Chauhan, a retired justice and current chairman of the Law Commission, told a seminar that the Commission’s preliminary investigation of the impact of legal betting suggested it was better for the government “to regulate the activity, not seek to stop it completely.”
