❝We are striving for the enactment of an ‘Annihilation of Caste Act’ as a legislative pathway to annihilate the caste system and prevent its subsequent salvation. It is our principal policy proposal for every policy problem involving caste.❞

HIGHLIGHTS

⭐️ HIGHLIGHT: The Legal Loophole Project is a research project that grew out of the Centre for Annihilation of Caste’s initiative to develop loophole-free laws. It has since evolved into an independent research project housed within the Centre, with its own research agenda and approach while retaining its institutional affiliation with the Centre.

Court failed to emphasise the presence of 'family members' of the appellant in the #BanquetHall. Judicial invention of "another public view" is antithetical to the statute. Lackadaisical approach in registration of FIR and investigation thereof has diluted the #Atrocities Act. pic.twitter.com/0MOQbRTOm8

The burden to aver or disclose the caste of the accused should not be placed on the victim. Procedural infirmities, if any, should not be allowed to scuttle the implementation of the Act. This is against the legislative intent, especially after the incorporation of Sec. 15A (2). pic.twitter.com/m1FyLPZp7G

The Court should have avoided the idiomatic expression to characterize atrocities cases. Every unprovable case is not necessarily fake or frivolous. Operation of Sec. 3(1)(r) & 3(1)(s) of SC&ST (PoA) Act, 1989 has been marred by the statutory requirement of "within public view." pic.twitter.com/oJUJAxslJF
