Law Ministry sends anti-fixing bill draft to Sports Ministry

27 May 2013 Evaluate

Law Ministry has sent anti-fixing bill draft to the Sports Ministry. Fixing will be made non-bailable offence and will invite a fine of up to Rs 5 lakh.

The government has brainstormed on the new anti-fixing law and some strict measures seem to be in the pipeline. The new legislation will deal with fixing in all sports. 

The new law will be modeled on the lines of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), a strict law, under which the burden of proof rests with the accused. The law will also have some elements of the Money Laundering Act provisions.
