Abstract
The twin Hon’ble Supreme Court judgements in May this year—State of Tamil Nadu v Junglee Games India Pvt. Ltd. (2026) and Directorate General of GST Intelligence v Gameskraft Technologies Pvt. Ltd (2026) have reconfigured the legal understanding of online gaming laws in India. The analysis provides a perspective on the latest developments in gaming laws, focusing on res extra commercium, the State’s legislative power, taxing statutes, and the distinction between games of skill and games of chance.
