Prasad Shrikant Purohit vs State Of Maharashtra & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the applicability of the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act, 1999 (MCOCA) in the context of organized crime, reversing the Bombay High Court's decision that had discharged charges against the accused. The Court emphasized that the Special Judge's order to transfer the case back to the regular court was incorrect, thus restoring the case for trial under MCOCA. The Court also addressed bail applications, affirming the Special Judge's discretion in such matters under MCOCA, leading to the dismissal of the appeals regarding bail.
