Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Supreme Court has allowed an intervention plea filed by the Criminal Justice and Police Accountability Project (CPA Project) in the ongoing suo motu case on discrimination inside Indian prisons.

The Court has asked the intervenor to file a detailed application challenging the constitutionality of Madhya Pradesh Sudharatmak Sevayen Evam Bandigrah Adhiniyam, 2024.

A bench of Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice KV Viswanathan permitted the intervention after hearing arguments that MP Prison Law violates principles laid down in the 2024 Sukanya Shantha judgment. The intervenor said the Act discriminates against denotified tribes through its arbitrary and vague definition of “habitual offenders.” Read Also Madhya Pradesh 70th Foundation Day: Chief Minister Mohan
