SC/ST Act Inapplicable When Accused Belongs to Same Caste as Complainant : MP HC Grants Bail
Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that provisions of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act do not apply if the accused is from the same Scheduled Caste community as the complainant. The court granted bail, emphasizing that false implication and lack of community-based discrimination negate the Act's applicability, setting a precedent for similar cases.
