SCST-- Castiest Insult -- Public View-- Factory Dispatch Area Accessible To Employees Qualifies As 'Public View' Under S.3(1)(r) SC/ST Act
Under Section 3(1)(r) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, the expression "public view" is distinct from "public place." A location accessible to fellow employees within factory premises falls within "public view," even if not open to the general public. Employees present at such a location qualify as members of the public for this purpose. Caste-based insult or intimidation at such a location attracts the offence under Section 3(1)(r).
