Under which one of the following Sections of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 is 'anticipatory bail' prohibited?
Answer: C
Anticipatory bail is barred by Section 18.
Section 18 of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 provides that section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which allows anticipatory bail, shall not apply to a person accused of committing an offence under the Act. Parliament later reinforced this by adding section 18A in 2018.
Section 16 deals with the power of the State Government to impose collective fines, section 20 makes the Act override other laws, and section 22 protects action taken in good faith. None of them concerns anticipatory bail.
