SC/ST act: Supreme court approves Centre's amendment

Supreme Court, on Monday, upheld the constitutional validity of SC/ST Amendment Act, 2018, that ruled out any provision for anticipatory bail for a person accused of atrocities against SC/STs. As per the judgment, if a case is filed against someone under the SC/ST Act, then the arrest of the accused can be made immediately. In October last year, the Bench had hinted that it will uphold amendments made by the Centre in SC/ST Act to restore immediate arrest and ban anticipatory bail.
