A brand-new online tournament awaits Indian poker players and enthusiasts who have a law background.

Mudgal has long been a proponent for a regulated gaming market in India. His son, Dhaval Mudgal, is among the country’s most popular and celebrated poker pros. Justice Mudgal presently heads the FIFA Governance and Review Committee. Few years back, he led an inquiry into the spot-fixing scandal in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
