The
Delhi High Court ruled that any offensive post on social media targeting an
individual of the SC/ST community, even if made in a closed group, is
punishable. In a key ruling that plugs the gap between online abusers and their
prosecution, the court made it clear that Scheduled Castes & Scheduled
Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, will apply if a casteist slur is
made against a person from these communities.
