LAWS RELATED TO SC & ST
Dear friends, In this notes I’ve tried to summarize the laws related to SC’s & ST’s, safeguards provided to them by our constitution, the origin and development of the SC ST Act, offences which amount to “atrocities” under this act, Punishment for those offences and the relief provided to the victims. You may be able to understand how and why the arrest is important and what impact could be there if the ban is not removed if you learn the offences mentioned in the section 3 of this Act. Please let me know your views and comments on this notes.
