Section 18 SC & ST Act | Private Space Caste Abuse Does Not Trigger Statutory Bail Bar: Bombay HC Grants Interim Bail
Bombay High Court rules that caste-based slurs in a private setting do not invoke the Section 18 bail bar under the SC & ST Act, granting interim bail where the alleged offence lacked public view. The decision clarifies that statutory bail restrictions apply only to atrocities committed in public spaces, impacting bail jurisprudence under the Act.
