What happened
The Maharashtra government defended the constitutional validity of the Maharashtra Special Public Security Act (MSPSA), 2024, in the Bombay High Court against a petition filed by the Indian National Congress and social activists. The state argued that the Act was necessary to address growing urban Maoist networks, citing Ministry of Home Affairs information that 64 active frontal organizations were operating in the state.
