AJAY TEWARI, J. (Oral)

1. Heard through video conferencing.

By this writ petition the petitioner has challenged the notices on the ground that there is no clarification on the issue and these notices were based on imaginary and incoherent grounds and prayed for direction to issue refund in respect of online gaming platforms, which are being administered by the petitioner.

3. At the very outset, learned DAG, Haryana states that she has instructions from respondent no.5 to state that no adjudication and no coercive steps would be taken against the petitioner till such time the necessary clarification is issued by the empowered Group of Ministers but they may be permitted to investigate the matter so that if and when the clarification comes they would not have to necessarily reinvent the wheel.

5. In view of the above, the instant petition is disposed off in the above terms.
