Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi today set up a three-Judge Bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra to hear the Centre’s petition seeking review of its 2018 verdict that diluted stringent provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Act, 1989.
The Bench, which also includes Justice MR Shah and Justice BR Gavai, will take up the Centre’s plea for review of the March 20, 2018, verdict tomorrow. The verdict had diluted provisions of arrest and judicially introduced a provision for anticipatory bail in cases under the SC/ST Act.
