A Division Bench of Karnataka’s High Court has temporarily banned horse racing and betting at Bangalore Turf Club until the resolution of pending legal cases. The interim order overturned a previous decision allowing racing, citing concerns over illegal activities and criminal prosecutions involving top club officials. The Bench criticized a single judge’s decision to grant interim permission, arguing it effectively granted final relief, contrary to legal precedents. It upheld the government’s rejection of the club’s license renewal, noting the club’s alleged negligence in supervising illegal bookmaking activities.
