ONLY SPECIAL LAWS CAN CAST A SPELL ON BLACK MAGIC AND OTHER OBSCURANTIST PRACTICES !
What is new Maharashtra law :-The draft Maharashtra Prevention and Eradication of Human Sacrifice and other Inhuman Evil Practices and Black Magic Bill spearheaded by late Narendra Dabholkar aimed to ban performance of alleged magical acts in the name of supernatural powers such as offer ash, amulet and charms for the purpose of exorcism. It also aims to forbid claims of supernatural powers and/or advertise such a claim as well as alleged godmen making claims that they are incarnations of erstwhile saints/gods. The Bill has deterrent penalties and punishments and makes practices such as black magic cognizable and non-bailable offences. Vigilance officers are to be appointed under the provisions of the Bill who are to prevent and detect such offences and also aid the state in collecting evidence against the offenders. The draft Bill that did not see the light of the day for eight long years, kept pending in the Maharashtra Assembly because of opposition, mainly from right wing parties [BJP,Shivsena and other like minded groups and associations].Significant features of the bill are :-
*Those indulging in black magic or cashing in on superstitions be jailed for up to 7 years.
*Banned !Magic rites in the name of supernatural power,talismans and exorcism;claiming for advertising supernatural powers;CLAIMING TO BE A REINCARNATION OF GODS OR SAINTS;performing miracles;opposing scientific medical treatment.
