Summary: Reports that gaming companies filed review petitions are useful leads, but court updates should be tied to identifiable official records. This checklist shows what each record can and cannot prove.
The minimum record ladder
| Record | What to capture | What it can establish |
|---|---|---|
| Original judgment | Case name, date, PDF URL | The operative baseline and reasons |
| Filing reference | Petitioner, diary or review number | An identifiable filing exists |
| Listing | Date, bench or circulation entry | The matter reached a procedural stage |
| Interim order | Date, exact operative words | Only the protection expressly granted |
| Final review order | Result and uploaded text | Whether review was dismissed, allowed, or otherwise disposed |
Apply the ladder to the July reports
Business Standard reported on 14 July that Play Games24x7, Junglee Games, and Sachiko Gaming filed review petitions. The report is a credible secondary source for the reported filing development.
It is not a substitute for an uploaded order. Until a later official record appears, reporting should avoid verbs such as “stayed,” “reopened,” “reversed,” or “granted relief.”
Five checks before publishing an update
1. Match the petitioner name exactly.
2. Record the diary or review-petition number when publicly available.
3. Separate a listing from an order.
4. Quote the effect of an interim order narrowly and in paraphrase.
5. Link the uploaded order, not only a search-result page or commentary.
The official-records watchlist provides the broader source hierarchy. The review-petition operator watch tracks the named companies.
What this checklist does not decide
It does not decide the merits of the petitions, calculate tax exposure, or establish product legality. Those questions require the relevant judgment, tax record, state law, and product-specific evidence.

FAQ
Is a diary number the same as a final case number?
No. It identifies a filing but does not by itself prove registration, listing, or relief.
Does a listing mean the original judgment is paused?
No. A pause or stay must be supported by the operative text of an order.
What is the strongest source for relief?
The uploaded court order or judgment that states the relief.
