It's really a shocking judgement.We should see this as a move to invalidate the sc/st atrocities(prevention) act, a safeguard for dalits and adivasis. The court, enquiring agencies and media are trying to sabotage the very spirit of this act. It is high time to unite dalits tribes and all democratic forces to protect the act and the legitimate rights of oppressed xections in the Indian society.
