The Andhra Pradesh Horse Race (Abolition of Turf Agencies) Act, 1983

General198312 sections

The Andhra Pradesh Horse Race (Abolition of Turf Agencies) Act, 1983 completely bans and dismantles the system of turf agencies operating in connection with horse races across the state. This legislation applies to any person or company attempting to act as a turf intermediary, though it explicitly exempts licensed bookmakers from these restrictions. It matters because it cracks down on unauthorized betting operations by making such business activities illegal, punishing violators with legal penalties, and ensuring that older laws or conflicting decrees cannot hinder this strict prohibition of turf agencies in Andhra Pradesh.
