SC/ST Act: CJI To Consider Listing Of Centre's Review Petition And Challenge Against Amendments Together

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Friday said it will consider listing the Centre's review petition against Judgment in Dr. Subhash Kashinath Mahajan case, and petitions challenging the amendments to the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes, together before an appropriate bench. Attorney General K K Venugopal said that a bench headed by Justice A K Sikri had on Thursday passed an order, saying it will be appropriate to hear the Centre's review and writ petitions against the SC/ST Act 2018 together. The Centre filed the review petition against the March 20 judgment of a two-judge bench which 'diluted" the SC/ST Act by laying down stringent 'safeguards' before registering a case under it and banned automatic arrests.The court was hearing the pleas alleging that the two Houses of Parliament had "arbitrarily" decided to amend the law and restored the previous provisions in such a manner so that an innocent cannot avail the right of anticipatory bail. The Centre has justified before the Supreme Court the amendments brought in the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Act to overcome the controversial apex court's Judgment in Dr. Subhash Kashinath Mahajan case, diluting the provision of arrest under the law.
