Secondly does this act apply to non-scheduled caste?Suppose a backward class man has spoken some bad words in respect of cast to nonscheduled person, does atrocity act apply? If not why? Thirdly if a bakwardclass person spoke some bad words in respect of cast to anoather backward cast person ,does atrocity act apply for this isntance?
