Allahabad High Court Calls for Monitoring System to Curb SC-ST Act Misuse, Orders Return of INR 75,000 in False Case

The Allahabad High Court has underscored the need for a robust monitoring system to prevent the misuse of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, commonly known as the SC-ST Act. In a significant ruling on September 22, the court emphasised that false complaints should be met with strict punishment to maintain the integrity of the law. The court ordered that incidents must be thoroughly verified before cases are registered under the Act to ensure that only genuine claims are pursued. In a specific instance, the court directed the return of INR 75,000, which was paid as compensation in a settled SC-ST case from Sambhal district. The amount had been disbursed in connection with a claim that was found to lack merit. HC on Rape: Sexual Relationship With Woman’s Consent, if Under Fear, Amounts To Rape, Says Allahabad High Court.
