The shop owners are offering that, if we purchase Rs. 1,000 or more price electronic products, they kept a lottery system and gathering the public attention that they will get 1 kg gold, maruthi car, and any other electronic equipment. Sir/Madam i think this kind of lottery system has banned here in India, but again why this people are doing this kind of business. And this people are making advertise openly in all Major News papers and News channels. I request to all members will u please suggest how to stop this kind of business.

You say that you are a Jr. Advocate.
You also say that "this kind of lottery system has banned here in India".
Instead of indulging in loose talk, better first say under which specific law that a lottery system has been banned in India.
Other things will follow thereafter.

You are not asking. You have already concluded that "this kind of lottery system has banned here in India". That's why you have gone to the extent of saying what action can be taken.
Therefore, find out first, whether there is any ban or not, before trying to fly your kite!

Hi Anirudh,
Please refer to section 2 (a) Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998.

First read section 2(b) before reading section 2(a).
Further please go through the entire Act thoroughly.
