Millennium Post Delhi|August 19, 2022
KOZHIKODE (KER): A day after a sessions court's observation that sexual harassment offence was not attracted when the woman was wearing a "sexually provocative dress" triggered a row in Kerala, another controversial order by the same judge regarding the applicability of the SC/ST Act came to light on Thursday.
SC/ST Act not applicable to someone fighting casteism, says Kerala judge

In an order dated August 2, the sessions judge granted bail to 74-year-old social activist and writer Civic Chandran in a case under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act (SC/ ST Act) by saying that offences under this statute would not prima facie stand against him as he was fighting against the caste system.

The same judge on August 12 granted bail to the same accused in a sexual abuse case, observing that the offence under sexual harassment is not prima facie attracted when the woman was wearing a "sexually provocative dress".
