New Delhi: The Centre has said it is examining the "desirability of filing a review petition" against last week's Supreme Court order diluting the SC-ST Act, ending days of dithering amid mounting pressure from allies and Dalit BJP parliamentarians.

"I have instructed my ministry to examine the desirability of filing a review in this case. Appropriate actions are being taken," Union law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said at a news conference on Thursday.

On March 20, the apex court had ruled that public servants and private citizens accused under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act cannot be arrested without sanction from their appointing authority or the senior superintendent of police, respectively.

The act mandates immediate arrest and bars courts from granting anticipatory bail to the accused. But the apex court held that anticipatory bail can be granted if it is found, prima facie, that the complaint was meant to blackmail or harass the accused.

It added that before an FIR is registered, a preliminary inquiry may be carried out to make sure the complaint is not frivolous or motivated, and that the case does fall within the ambit of the act.
