There is no bar of initiation proceeding against a person who belongs to backward class. Word in section 3 (10) of Prevention of Atrocities on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes is "A person of non-Sc or Non-St....." is used for accused which includes even backward caste person.

The best defence is due interpretation of word used/action taken, not worded/acted in public view. There is no need of presence of any general category person at the time of occurrence to constitute this offense. Any two persons is necessary.riven
