The Act defines these practices and black magic and prescribes offenses and punishments. It grants jurisdiction to metropolitan and judicial magistrates and allows for the appointment of vigilance officers to assist police in detecting offenses punishable under the Act. The Act also provides for publishing details of convicted individuals. Certain traditional practices are excluded from being considered offenses.
