BNSS Section 194(1) | Caste-Based Abuse Over Phone Lacks 'Public View' Element, Fails SC/ST Act Test : Madras HC
Madras High Court holds that caste-based slurs over phone, without public witnessing, do not meet the 'public view' requirement under BNSS 194(1) or SC/ST Act. The ruling mandates prompt bail consideration, narrowing the scope of atrocity offences to acts intended for public humiliation.
