STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
Consequent on representations from some State Governments that they may be permitted to conduct State lotteries to help them mobilise savings and to find funds for financing their development plans , it has been decided to authorise the State Governments to conduct lotteries , if they consider such action desirable . It has consequently become neces- sary that suitable action may be taken to safeguard the interests of such State Governments who do not wish to permit the sale within their jurisdiction of tickets of lotteries organised by other States. To achieve this object , it is proposed to amend section 294A of the Indian Penal Code so that it may be unlawful for any one to sell or distribute in any State without the permission of that State the tickets of lotteries orga- nised by other States .
2. The present Bill seeks to achieve this object.
