Orders Appealable U/S 14A Of SC/ST Act Can't Be Challenged By Filing A Plea U/S 482 Of CrPC: Allahabad HC Reiterates
Appeal Against Order
The Allahabad High Court reiterated that under Section 14A of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, appeals preclude invoking High Court's inherent jurisdiction under Section 482 CrPC. Justice Subhash Vidyarthi noted the Act's provision supersedes CrPC per In Re: Provision of Section 14 (a) of SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Act. \r
Citing precedents like Ghulam Rasool Khan v. State of U.P., the Court rejected a Section 482 CrPC application challenging proceedings under IPC and SC/ST Act sections. The AGA-I argued for appeal under Section 14-A, countering a cited case. The Court found the cited cases inapplicable, emphasizing Section 14-A's impact. \r
Despite dismissal, the applicant was advised to pursue remedies under Section 14-A of the SC/ST Act.
