ZAMEER AHMED LATIFUR REHMAN SHEIKH vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA .

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of Section 2(1)(e) of the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act, 1999, which pertains to 'insurgency', affirming that it does not violate Article 13(2) or Article 14 of the Constitution of India. The Court clarified that the provision is not vague and does not constitute class legislation, referencing its previous decision in State of Maharashtra v. Bharat Shanti Lal Shah (2008) 13 SCC 5. The appeals challenging the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition were therefore dismissed, maintaining the law's applicability.
