Based on the said information, a team of officers raided the said place and noticed that petitioners and certain other people were found indulging in \u2018Matka\u2019.

Accordingly, the Court held that the criminal proceedings in the \u2018Matka\u2019 gambling case, against the petitioners were liable to be quashed, as the procedure under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803877\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">174<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001804327\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BNSS<\/a> was not duly followed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court observed that even though BNSS came into force on 1-7-2024, till today no rules were framed by the State.
