https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173722 The Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act's inclusion of "promoting insurgency" was upheld as a valid exercise of State legislative power because, in pith and substance, the provision addressed organised crime and its public order consequences; any overlap with Union subjects was only incidental. The provision was therefore not ultra vires on competence grounds. The same provision was also held not repugnant to the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, as the two enactments operate in different fields and their ingredients are not irreconcilably inconsistent. The constitutional challenge thus failed, and the impugned provision remained valid. en-us Fri, 23 Apr 2010 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 08:39:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173722 The Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act's inclusion of "promoting insurgency" was upheld as a valid exercise of State legislative power because, in pith and substance, the provision addressed organised crime and its public order consequences; any overlap with Union subjects was only incidental.
