As of now, there are no publicly reported cases of a court denying bail to an individual facing 21 charges under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). However, recent developments highlight the judiciary’s approach to bail under MCOCA:

A special MCOCA court in Mumbai denied bail to Afsar Usmani, a suspected Indian Mujahideen member linked to the 2008 Delhi and Ahmedabad bomb blasts, citing strong circumstantial evidence.

The Delhi High Court granted bail to an accused who had been in custody for nearly nine years under MCOCA, emphasizing that prolonged detention without trial violates the fundamental right to a speedy trial under Article 21 of the Constitution.

The Supreme Court has called for the establishment of special courts exclusively to hear UAPA and MCOCA cases, aiming to expedite trials and reduce delays.

If you have more specific details about the case you’re referring to, I can assist further in finding relevant information.
