SC/ST Act Section 14A(1) | Bail Liberty & Four-Week Coercive Action Stay Granted Under Satender Kumar Antil : Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court has granted accused persons liberty to file bail applications under the SC/ST Act, directing trial courts to decide in light of the Supreme Court’s Satender Kumar Antil guidelines. For four weeks or until bail is filed, no arrest or coercive action may be taken, reinforcing procedural safeguards for accused persons even before formal bail hearings.
