Protect Dalit victims, SC tells Haryana
IANS, Jun 2, 2010, 12.51pm IST

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it was incumbent upon
the Haryana government to provide protection to the victims of caste
violence in Mirchpur village in Hisar district.

The apex court bench of Justices G.S. Singhvi and C.K. Prasad said the
failure to provide protection would be viewed seriously.

The Dalits (Balmikis) of Mirchpur were targets of violence by the
upper caste Jats on April 21.

As many as 150 Dalit families were driven out of the village after an
arson attack on their homes in Hisar district, about 300 km from
Chandigarh.
