Delta Corp has filed a Special Leave Petition before the Supreme Court of India against an order passed by the Bombay High Court on April 29, 2026. The legal challenge follows the dismissal of the company's writ petition, which sought a direction to grant a license under Section 13A of the Goa, Daman and Diu Public Gambling Act, 1976. The license was intended to permit the installation of games of electronic amusement and slot machines at the Deltin Hotel.
The Bombay High Court had previously dismissed Writ Petition No. 317 of 2019, which contained the company's request for the gambling license. By filing the Special Leave Petition on July 22, 2026, Delta Corp is seeking to overturn this decision at the highest judicial level. The disclosure was made to the stock exchanges in compliance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
The development marks a continuation of the company's legal efforts to secure necessary permissions for its gaming operations. The Deltin Hotel, the entity at the center of this licensing dispute, is a key asset for the company's hospitality and gaming vertical. The outcome of this petition will have significant implications for the company's operational capabilities in the region.
