Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, 1999
(Maharashtra Act No. 30 - of 1999)
PREFACE
As explained in the statement of object and reasons, the menace of organised crime, was on the increase and there was no effective law in she Maharashtra State to effectively control the organised crimes. Mumbai being the economic capital of India, it is a targetted centre of criminals who hoard money through illegal means. In recent years criminal activities like murders of tycoons related to film industry as well by builders, extortion of money from businessmen, abduction etc. show that criminal gangs are active in the state. To cope with them- legislation in the lines of the present law was essential. Effective measures against the misuse of law have been provided in the Act itself. It is hoped that with the passing of this law, unlawful elements spreading terrorism in the society can be controlled to great extent and it will go a long way in minimizing the teeling of fear spread in the society.
STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
Organised crime has been for quite some years now come up as a very serious threat to our society. It knows no national boundaries and is fueled by illegal wealth generated by contract, killing, extortion, smuggling in contrabands, illegal trade in narcotics kidnappings for ransom, collection of protection money and money laundering, etc. The illegal wealth and black money generated by the organised crime being very huge, it has had serious adverse effect on our economy. It was seen that the organised criminal syndicates made a common cause with terrorist gangs and foster narco terrorism which extend beyond the national boundaries. There was reason to believe that organised criminal gangs have been operating in the State and thus, there was immediate need to curb their activities.
