Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the rejection of bail for the appellant under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, 1999 (MCOCA), specifically citing Sections 3(2) and 24. The Court established that the gravity of the charges, including aiding an organized crime syndicate, justified the denial of bail as there was no reason to believe the appellant was not guilty. The High Court's affirmation of the Special Judge's decision was thus upheld, maintaining the appellant's judicial custody.
