Supreme Court refuses to entertain plea alleging misuse of SC/ST Act

The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to entertain a plea challenging the 2018 amendment to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 which restored the bar on anticipatory bail and removed the requirement of a preliminary inquiry before registration of a first information report (FIR) under the Act.
