General202430 sections
The Bihar Control of Crimes Act, 2024 provides the State Government and local administrative authorities in Bihar with preventive legal powers to control organized crime and curb activities of anti-social elements. It applies to habitual criminal offenders, illegal sand miners, illicit liquor traders, land grabbers, bootleggers, and members of criminal syndicates operating within Bihar. For an ordinary citizen, this law matters because it enables District Magistrates to remove dangerous offenders from specific neighborhoods or temporarily detain them without trial when their activities threaten public peace, safety, or community confidence in law and order.
