PUBG banned in Maharashtra by the Bombay High Court for the state of Maharastra?
That�s fake news and the so called notice is also fake.
PUBG or PlayerUnknown�s Battlegrounds has certainly become a very popular mobile
game in India, and while some colleges might have banned the game, reports that the
Bombay High Court banned the game are fake.

According to a reports on Gadgets360, a fake notice claiming that PUBG has been
banned by the Bombay High Court is doing the rounds on social media platforms like
Facebook, etc. The reason fro this ban is allegedly because PUBG is creating a lot
of nuisance and apparently causing students to spoil their lives.

Of course, by that logic many mobile games can be considered as a nuisance, but the
so-called order has too many grammatical errors to be true. For starts, the
spelling of magistrates is totally wrong. Also as Gadgets360 points out the order
has been signed by a K Srinivasulu with the designation being prejudge.

There is no designation like that in the Indian High Courts, one is simply
designated a High Court Judge. Or there are district court judges in the lower
courts of India. The designation prejudge is a clear indication that this is fake.

Further, the order seems to have been issued by a �Center for governance� and it
also mentions �legally notices� when the term is in fact legal notice. It also
claims that �All we have knew that a few countries took action on ban of this
game,� which is grammatically wrong and sounds rather vague for an actual legal
judgement.

Plus the Bombay High Court bench does not have a judge by the name of K
Srinivasulu. Going to the Bombay High Court website shows a list of all present
judges on the court, and this name is not on the list.
