Which of the following is true about Section 13 of the Public Gambling Act, 1867?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 13 lets a police officer "apprehend without warrant" persons gaming in a public place at a game "not being a game of mere skill", and persons setting birds or animals to fight in public. Skill games are expressly left out. The penalty is a fine up to fifty rupees or imprisonment up to one calendar month, so imprisonment is available.
