PAN-India Online Gaming Tournament: A Legal Conundrum

Kya ho sakta hai yeh... government announces a PAN-India online gaming tournament with a prize of 1 cr for the winner. However, one of the participating contestants hacks into the system, cheats and wins. What if the game organisers refuse to declare the original winner and instead hand the prize to the cheater? Under Administrative Law, can the government be held liable for failing to prevent cheating and ensuring a fair tournament?

Main point yeh hai - did the government fail in its duty to ensure a fair tournament, which comes under the principle of "public authority liability" under the Administrative Law? If yes, can the government be held accountable for the loss of the original winner, who was unfairly deprived of the prize? And what about the responsibility of the game organisers, who allegedly allowed cheating to happen? Kya hoga?
