Respected advocates,

Thanks.

The Maharashtra government recently implemented new laws to abolish Black magic and Witchcraft. According to the new law, people practicing black magic or forcing it on people would be jailed for up to seven years. Another law also implemented a ban on magic in the name of supernatural power, talisman and exorcism, claiming to be god and opposing scientific medical treatment.
In Karnataka, the law awards the same degree of punishment for witch-hunting as well as slapping a person. A person found guilty of these charges will be sentenced to one year imprisonment or have to pay a fine of Rs 1,000.
Although performing black magic is a bigger crime, there is no law in many states which awards a greater punishment. People are arguing over this issue, as the system has to come up with a new law to abolish witchcraft in various states.
