Satta Mother: Legal angle
The major legal bar on illegal gambling like Satta Matka is the Public Gambling Act of 1867 which was enacted during the British rule. After partition, Pakistan decided to abolish this law, but the Indian government opted to adopt the already existing law borrowed from the British.
A person caught for gambling (first offence) may be punished with fine ranging from Rs 100 to 300 or with rigorous imprisonment for a term not exceeding one month. The latter are liable to fine between Rs 200-500 and rigorous imprisonment for one to six months.
