Gujarat High Court asks State to publicise, implement new law to curb black magic

The Gujarat High Court has mandated that the state government publicize and effectively implement a new law aimed at curbing black magic and superstitions. The law, which targets practices involving black magic and related activities, seeks to protect individuals from exploitation and harm by prohibiting such practices and penalizing offenders. The Court's directive comes in response to concerns about the ineffective enforcement of the law and the lack of public awareness. The state has been instructed to launch awareness campaigns and ensure that the legal framework is robustly applied to prevent misuse and exploitation. This decision underscores the judiciary's role in ensuring that legislative measures are not only enacted but also actively enforced to achieve their intended social benefits.
