Casteist remark against Dalit can't be compromised: SC
Agencies Posted online: Mon Mar 07 2011, 21:02 hrs
New Delhi : Calling a Dalit by his caste is a serious offence that
cannot be condoned even if both the accused and the complainant arrive
at a compromise, the Supreme Court said.
A bench of justices Markandeya Katju and Gyan Sudha Mishra said the
only way of ending the feudal mentality of those insulting the Dalits
would be by sending them to the jail so as to act as a deterrent for
others.
"The only way is to send you to the jail. This is modern age. The days
of feudalism are over," the bench said while refusing to compound
(close the case by way of fine) the dispute as sought by counsel S D
Dwaraknath.
