No stay on SC/ST Act amendments:  SC, final hearing on Feb 19

The Supreme Court bench of Justices U. U. Lalit and Indu Malhotra have posted to February 19 2019 for final hearing of petitions challenging the 2018 amendment to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

Senior advocate Vikas Singh, appearing for one of the petitioners who had challenged the changes made to the Act, sought an immediate stay, following which the SC refused to stay the amendments to the SC/ST Act.

Last week the SC said that it will consider listing the Centre's review and petitions challenging the amendments to the SC/ ST Act 2018, together before an appropriate bench. 

 The SC had earlier refused to stay the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Act, 2018 which restored the provision that no anticipatory bail be granted to the accused.
