The State Government of Maharashtra on 21 August 2013 adopted an Anti-Black Magic and Superstition Ordinance. The ordinance was adopted by the state cabinet after the death of anti-superstition activist Narendra Dabholkar. The decision was taken by the cabinet in wake up of the protests that followed after the murder of Dabhokar in Pune on 20 August 2013.
The ordinance was signed by the Prithviraj Chavan, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and forwarded to the Governor K Sankaranarayanan, for further approval. The ordinance once passed will replace the draft Maharashtra Prevention and Eradication of Human Sacrifice and Other Inhuman, Evil and Aghori Practices and Black Magic Bill, 2011, which is pending before the state assembly, ever since it was introduced on 10 August 2011.
