 "Dalits protest, SC/SC Act")
The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to modify its judgment on the SC/ST Atrocities Act but posted the review petition, moved by the central government,for full hearing after 10 days. Meanwhile, the parties and interveners in the original case can file written submissions. The court did not pass any final order.
However, the government has been criticised by the opposition parties, Dalit organisations, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP's) allies and its Dalit leadership. It has been criticised for not filing the review petition earlier, and is now being asked to bring an ordinance in Parliament.
