Choose your answer
The establishment of a Sessions Court as a Special Court to try offences under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 requires whose concurrence?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
As originally enacted, section 14 required the State Government, with the concurrence of the Chief Justice of the High Court, to specify a Court of Session for each district as the Special Court for speedy trial. The question asks whose concurrence was required, not which government issued the notification.
Current law: From 26 January 2016 the substituted section 14 provides for Exclusive Special Courts for one or more districts, or a specified Sessions Court where fewer cases justify it, and permits direct cognizance. The Chief Justice’s concurrence remains required.
