Gazi Saduddin vs State Of Maharashtra And Anr

The case concerns the legality of an externment order passed under Section 56 of the Bombay Police Act, 1951, removing the appellant from the districts of Aurangabad, Jalgaon, and Jalna for two years. The appellant challenged the order after it was confirmed by the High Court and the Principal Secretary of the Home Department.
