According to the long title, the Public Gambling Act, 1867 applies to which of the following regions?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The long title, as adapted, refers to public gambling and common gaming-houses "in the United Provinces, East Punjab, Delhi and the Central Provinces". Bengal, Bombay and Madras are not named; they had their own gaming laws. Gambling is now a State subject, and many States have enacted their own laws.
