The Maharashtra government defended its public security law before the Bombay High Court, citing the presence of 64 Maoist fronts in the state.
The Maharashtra state government presented its case before the Bombay High Court, arguing that the public security law remains essential to curb insurgency.
The defense was prompted by a petition challenging the law’s constitutionality, and officials cited 64 active Maoist fronts operating across the state as evidence of the continued threat.
The court will consider the arguments and decide whether the law can stand, while the government maintains that the legislation is a necessary tool to maintain law and order in the region.
