The Centre will file a review petition in the Supreme Court tomorrow over its recent ruling on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act 1989.
Recently, in its order, the Supreme Court had introduced the provision of anticipatory bail in the Act while directing that there will be no automatic arrest on any complaint filed under the law. Earlier, Social Justice and Empowerment Minister, Thaawarchand Gehlot had said the Central government is committed to the welfare of the SCs and STs in the country.
