GAZI SADUDDIN vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's confirmation of the externment order against the appellant under Section 56(1)(bb) of the Bombay Police Act, 1951, based on credible evidence of his involvement in activities that threatened communal harmony and public order. The Court found that the allegations of creating disharmony and links with SIMI were substantiated, justifying the externment for two years from specified districts. The ruling emphasized the importance of maintaining public order and safety in the face of such threats.
