The Supreme Court recalled its direction in the March 20, 2018 verdict which had virtually diluted provisions of arrest under the SC/ST Act. A bench of justices Arun Mishra, M R Shah and B R Gavai said the struggle of SC/ST people for equality is still not over in the country. The apex court further said the Constitution provides for protection of SC/ST people under Article 15 but they still face social abuse and discrimination.
