Supreme Court Denies Relief to Opinion Trading App Probo
Imagine an app called Probo where people bet on things like whether a sports team will win.
Now, the government in Haryana has a new law about gambling, and they've frozen Probo's bank accounts, which have lots of money.
Probo asked the highest court in the country for help, but the court said no for now.
Probo has to go to another court in the area to try and get its money back.
Other courts in different states are also looking at Probo because the app allows people to trade their opinions for money.
The government is worried and is looking closely at these kinds of apps.
Supreme Court denied interim relief to Probo Technologies.
Probo's accounts, holding approximately ₹100 crore, are frozen by Haryana.
Haryana initiated an investigation under the Haryana Public Gambling Act, 2025.
Multiple Public Interest Litigations (PILs) against Probo are pending in various High Courts.
The Chhattisgarh government is blocking access to the Probo app in the state.
