Answer 2

Yes Prostitution is Legal in India !!

In India, prostitution itself (exchanging sex for money) is not illegal, but the surrounding activities (operating brothels, pimping, soliciting sex etc) are illegal.

The current laws of India allow prostitution to thrive, but attempt to hide it from the public. The primary law dealing with the status of sex workers is the 1956 law referred to as the The Immoral Traffic (Suppression) Act (SITA). According to this law, prostitutes can practice their trade privately but cannot legally solicit customers in public. Organized prostitution (brothels, prostitution rings, pimping etc) is illegal. As long as it is done individually and voluntarily, a woman (male prostitution is not recognized in the Indian constitution) can use her body's attributes in exchange for material benefit. In particular, the law forbids a sex worker to carry on her profession within 200 yards of a public place. Unlike as is the case with other professions, sex workers are not protected under normal labour laws, but they possess the right to rescue and rehabilitation if they desire and possess all the rights of other citizens. In practice SITA is not commonly used. The Indian Penal Code (IPC) which predates the SITA is often used to charge sex workers with vague crimes such as "public indecency" or being a "public nuisance" without explicitly defining what these consist of. Recently the old law has been amended as The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act or PITA. Attempts to amend this to criminalize clients [16] have been opposed by the Health Ministry, [17] and has encountered considerable opposition. [18] In an interesting and positive development in the improvement of the lives of female sex workers in Calcutta, state owned insurance company has provided life insurance to 250 individuals.[19]

Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act:

The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act or PITA is a 1986 amendment of legislation passed in 1956 as a result of the signing by India of the United Nations' declaration in 1950 in New York on the suppression of trafficking.[20] The act was then called the All India Suppression of Immoral Traffic Act (SITA), was amended to the current law. The laws were intended as a means of limiting and eventually abolishing prostitution in India by gradually criminalizing various aspects of sex work. The main points of the PITA are as follows: [21]

Sex Workers: A prostitute who seduces or solicits shall be prosecuted. Similarly, [[call girl}call girls]] can not publish phone numbers to the public. (imprisonment up to 6 months with fine, point 8) Sex worker also punished for prostitution near any public place or notified area. (Imprisonment of up to 3 months with fine, point 7)

Clients: A client is guilty of consorting with prostitutes and can be charged if he engages in sex acts with a sex worker within 200 yards of a public place or "notified area". (Imprisonment of up to 3 months, point 7) The client may also be punished if the sex worker is below 18 years of age. (From 7 to 10 years of imprisonment, whether with a child or a minor, point 7)

Pimps and Babus: Babus or pimps or live-in lovers who live off a prostitute's earnings are guilty of a crime. Any adult male living with a prostitute is assumed to be guilty unless he can prove otherwise. (Imprisonment of up to 2 years with fine, point 4)

Brothel: Landlords and brothel-keepers can be prosecuted, maintaining a brothel is illegal. (From 1 to 3 years imprisonment with fine for first offense, point 3) Detaining someone at a brothel for the purpose of sexual exploitation can lead to prosecution. (Imprisonment of more than 7 years, point 6)

Procuring and trafficking: A person procures or attempts to procure anybody is liable to be punished. Also a person who moves a person from one place to another, (human trafficking), can be prosecuted similarly. (From 3 to 7 years imprisonment with fine, point 5)

Rescued Women: The government is legally obligated to provide rescue and rehabilitation in a "protective home" for any sex worker requesting assistance. (Point 21) Public place in context of this law includes places of public religious worship, educational institutions, hostels, hospitals etc. A "notified area" is a place which is declared to be "prostitution-free" by the state government under the PITA. Brothel in context of this law, is a place which has two or more sex workers (2a). Prostitution itself is not an offense under this law, but soliciting, brothels and pimps are illegal.

Answer 3

Although the game is considered legal in most Indian states, there are some states which consider Poker as gambling and hence the game is not permitted by law.

Online gaming is primarily monitored under The Public Gambling Act, 1867. However, most state laws exclude 'games of skill' like poker from being considered as gambling. In the modern era, states like Nagaland & Sikkim have implemented specific online gaming laws in order to make the industry legitimate. Still the Information Technology Act 2000, prevents internet service providers from organizing gambling websites.

Any state can choose to allow or prohibit betting in their state. Hence, different states have different rules when it comes to the legality of online poker in India:

• Nagaland Recently, Nagaland passed The Nagaland Prohibition of Gambling and Promotion and Regulation of Online Games of Skill Bill, 2015. This bill bans all kinds of gambling in the state. However, there is a scope for "games of skill."
• Maharashtra In Maharashtra, the state government has banned gambling under the Bombay Prevention of Gambling Act, 1887. However, section 13 of the act leaves a scope of skill games.
• Goa Goa is one of the states where gambling is freely allowed by the state government. Gambling is allowed in Goa, Daman and Diu under the Section 13A of The Goa, Daman and Diu Public Gambling Act, 1976.
• Sikkim The Sikkim Regulation of Gambling (Amendment) Act, 2005, allows the state to offer license to any establishment that wishes to organize gambling activities. The Sikkim On-line Gaming (Regulation) Rules, 2009, makes poker and other games like Roulette, Black Jack, Pontoon, Punto Banco, Bingo, Casino Brag, Poker Dice, and Baccarat legal.
• West Bengal In Kolkata, poker is considered legal under the West Bengal Gambling and Prize Competitions Act, 1957. The Act, under Section 2 (1) (b), considers all skill games like poker separate from gambling. The West Bengal Gambling and Prize Competitions Act states that conducting poker tournaments for cash prize would be permitted in the state.
• Bangalore During the Indian Poker Association v. State of Karnataka case, the court declared poker as a game of skill and hence it is considered legal. Recreational clubs are permitted to host the game without the requirement of any license. However, the court ruling states that the card game can be organized only for "recreational purposes."
• Gujarat During the petition of Dominance Games Pvt. Ltd. & Others vs State of Gujarat & Others case, the Gujarat High Court refused to recognize poker as a game of skill in December 2017. Hence it is not considered legal in the state.

Apart from these, people from Assam, Orissa and Telangana region are also not permitted to play poker online. Currently, poker falls in a gray area as there are still some myths associated with the game of skill. Hopefully, the scenario will get better with the growing awareness about the game. It is best to find out whether online poker is legal in your state before you start playing.
