Legalising illegal gambling

Hello

This post is going to be a bit lengthy but I'm sure you guys will have fun answering my questions. I'm planning to start an online gambling website, but in safe and legal way only. In my knowledge, there are two types of online gambling in India:

Skill Based Gambling: These are the games which requires some amount of player's skill to win. This includes Chess, carrom, pubg and all kinds of games that one can compete in. These games are generally allowed in India.
Luck Based Gambling: This is type of gambling in which there are no skills required. The outcome is purely based on Luck. People betting on faces of coins, some kinds of card games are example of Luck Based Games. These games are illegal.
*Please correct me if I am assuming something wrong at any point.



Now, the problem here is that the game I want to host is entirely luck based but I anyhow want to make it legal (and I have a plan for that as well 😜). This game is called "color prediction game." In this game, players choose any one color out of two. Now we see player's responses on our screen. The idea is to make the color winner for cash prize which has lesser votes. For instance, 70% choose red and 30% choose blue. Here, we will make the blue color eligible for pricing and the red-chooser will loose. Now we will give double the amount of money to 30% people and keep the rest amount as profit. Now at this point, I know it feels extremely illegal. But now comes the fun part of legalising it.

I will add a consent box that says "I accept terms & conditions of this game" which will not allow the player to play the game unless he ticks the checkbox.
In terms and conditions, I will disclose to the player that this game is 100% skill based game and not luck based. But you will have to read this guide or documentation before playing. I will provide link to access the documentation.
Now the most important part comes here. I am going to create a website and keep it updated with the winning colour before ending of match. If anyone is able to open that website and find out the winning colour, he will win for sure. But for opening this site, the player has to some complex math equations. This is to make sure that any player can not access the information about which color is going to win.
Now I will explain the method of accessing this website and finding out the winning colour in the documentation I will provide in terms and conditions. Now this game has became a skill based game instead of luck based game. How? Because now if the individual is able to learn the way of finding out the winning team from other website, he is able to win. It is a skill. It requires computer and maths skills to open that website and find the winning colour before time. But if anyone is not reading the terms and conditions before playing and just playing on their own without learning the actual method of winning through their skill, it is none of my problem. I am openly giving them method to win by learning 100% foolproof method to win. (No more than 0.01% people go and read out terms and conditions and no gambler will be able learn through documentation. Hence, no one will be able to abuse this system.)
I guess you understand what I am up to. I have made it 100% skill game as the player can read the guide provided and win the game.

Now I request you guys to advice me if this is legal or still illegal, and if yes, then why? I am also open to any suggestions that I can do in order to be more safer. And yeah, if you didn't understand anything I wanted to say, please ask.

Where men reside in india ?

Wife filed Sec498a in AP(Andhra), immediately filed DVC in TS(Telangana) state, and included all my family members. attending these cases across states in every month I felt inconvenience, applied TP at SC, Got Stay order to TS state case proceedings,
then immediately She filed CrPC MC at AP.
Means 2 cases in AP and 1 case TS.

Husband filed a TP at SC, SC served Notices to wife twice, no one is appeared, hence SC sent notice to Her Lawyer as well saying to pass to notices to your client.
but still no one is appeared in SC, Instead of make then Ex-Party , SC Dismissed the TP case.

If women file any case in India we can see immediate action in seconds?
If Husband file case SC it self gave then enough time and simply dismissed.

Where is the Justice for Men? In India Justice is obtained for only women ?
Where men can reside in India?

Is there any grounds/Bar to show if no one respondent is not appeared, SC make them as Ex-Party
Why SC is not wife as Ex-Party?

your reply would be really appreciated.

Writ of mandamus in the bombay high court format

The Supreme Court of India has given on its website the format for a writ petition for mandamus under Article 226 of the constitution of India. Is the same format to be used for a writ petition to be made to the Bombay High Court?

Claim of damages against former official superior

This query has been posted in the Forum Section couple of days ago. The query is reposted in this Section for more informed response -

I am a retired senior Government Officer. While in service, there had been many instances where I was required to be part of unlawful actions. I had avoided such instructions. In some cases, I had taken action contrary to the instructions. Such actions have been upheld by the Courts.

However, just a couple of months prior to my retirement disciplinary proceeding initiated. Enquiry officer was appointed only after two years when I approached the Tribunal. Enquiry took more than one year. But he did not submit Report. So, another officer was appointed. He also did not complete the proceedings even after two years. Finally, the Tribunal quashed the proceedings for total non-application of mind by the disciplinary authority. I could not get pension, gratuity and other benefits in time because of the pending proceedings.

I wish to proceed against the former superiors including the disciplinary authority and the inquiry officers and claim damages from for them deliberate harassment. Can I file a civil suit in the civil court for the purpose? I do not wish to proceed against the Government.

Additional query: After retirement I am permanently settled in my native place. Much of the instances of harassment, such as change of Inquiry Officer etc., have taken place post-retirement. As such, which civil court has the jurisdiction to entertain the suit - the place I am settled presently or the place of retirement (outside my Home State)

Mandamus for public road construction.

Hello.

The public road connecting our plot of land is in such a bad situation, due to heavy trucks plying over it, that it's risky and very difficult to drive one's car over it during the rainy season. After contacting the local authorities to ask for proper construction of the road, they replied that the money they have for works is not sanctioned for road construction at the moment. What legal remedy do we have for that? Can we file a Mandamus petition before the High Court to get the road constructed? Thanks in advance.
