Allahabad High Court Rules SC ST Act Not Applicable Solely on Caste in Property Dispute
The Allahabad High Court ruled that the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act cannot be applied solely based on the complainant's caste. In a September 8 judgment, the court quashed proceedings under the Act against Raju Kuraishi and others, noting no evidence of caste-based abuse or humiliation in the property dispute. However, criminal proceedings for other charges like cheating will continue. The FIR was registered at Loni police station in Ghaziabad.
