The caste system is a hierarchical system that divides society into different groups of individuals. According to the Hindu system, these groups are called Varnas. The first or the superior Varna is the Brahmins, who perform rituals at the temple and are considered the most educated and respected. The second Varna is the Kshatriyas, who are warriors. The third Varna is the Vishay’s, who are traders or businessmen. The fourth Varna is the Shudras, who are the working class and are considered very low. Before, there was a fifth group, who were called the ‘untouchables.’ Even though untouchability is removed in society, those individuals are now referred to as Dalits. 

This system of caste has been criticized as the upper caste suppresses the lower caste. To eradicate this issue, the Indian Constitution banned the practice of discrimination based on one’s caste and also provided a reservation system, which reserves a certain number of seats in education and job opportunities for the individuals of the Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled castes, and the OBC’s. 

India has been a country that is very sensitive to topics like caste and religion. Even though laws have been prevailing to eradicate caste discrimination, even now, in the 21st century, case discrimination can be seen in our society. Dalits are still considered low status in society and are not treated well. At times of disasters, Dalits are given no preference in providing safety measures or relief. Dalits also face police brutality, many of which are not even registered according to the National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights (NCDHR). In the current context of COVID-19, Dalits are assigned to cremate the bodies of individuals who died due to the COVID-19. In such situations as well, some individuals from the upper caste refuse to agree to cremate their family member’s body as the rituals are done by a Dalit. These incidents highlight the discrimination that the Dalit face. 

Now, let us look into ‘Dalit Lives Matter’(DLM). The DLM protest was compared to the US protest of Black Lives Matter (which was started after the incident of George Floyd, a black man who died due to police brutality). But unlike racial discrimination, caste discrimination in India is multi-layered. The DLM started in 2020 after the gang rape case of a 19-year-old Dalit girl from the state of UP. The girl was gang-raped by four men and even the police did not take any emergency actions on the same. The girl’s dead body was cremated by the police without the permission of her parents and family, without giving a chance for them to see her before the rituals. This incident shows how caste and gender discrimination and violence still prevails in India. There was various other death that happened over the years, almost all of them left without justice. 

The upper caste is well known for their superior position in society and takes advantage of the same by suppressing the lower caste. But will these Dalits find a way out when they are not educated about their rights, or the ones that try to voice out are being shunned by officials like the police? There are so many cases that happen in rural India that go unregistered and unattended. It is high that the state officials take action against caste discrimination. Nearly a century ago, BR Ambedkar was able to bring in rights for the untouchables because he stood against caste discrimination. Hence, the ruling party or the state officials need to stand against caste discrimination to eradicate such discrimination from society. 

But only movements and protests are also not enough. The Dalit community has been living in the shade for years together now, the injustice that happens to them is something that is normalized that they do not find a way out of this loop. Hence to break this loop, it is important to educate the individuals of the Dalit community on their rights. 

Now, let us apply the principle of Article 15 to this. Article 15 of the Indian Constitution states that the ‘state shall not discriminate any individual based on their religion, place of birth, race, and caste. The state is given such power so that it uses the same for the upliftment of the lower groups of the society and given them an equal place in the society similar to the privileged groups. Hence, this Article can be applied to the current topic of discussion, caste discrimination. This article is an addition to the principle of Article 14, which states that every individual should be treated equally under the law, that is fair and justifiable to all individuals and to remove any kind of discrimination. It gives fair treatment between the equals and unequal. 

These Articles were made under the Constitution because, since the time period of pre-independence, the minority community has been shunned by the upper communities. The State was given the power to make laws to eradicate any such discrimination. Under Article 15, there are Acts like the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes Prevention Act, 1989, and Caste Disabilities Removal Act, 1850. Anyone who violates the provisions of these Acts can be held liable and given punishment. 

Therefore, these laws should be applied in the matter of Dalit people’s rights and eradicate caste discrimination. New Acts with more strict policies should be initiated by the government that also hold the officials like the police, accountable for their actions on caste discrimination.

The Jharkhand High Court has taken Suo Motu cognizance of the killing of Judge Uttam Anand who died succumbing to his injuries after an auto-rickshaw rammed into him.

Additional District and Sessions Judge Uttam Anand, 50, was killed on Wednesday morning when he was out for his morning walk near the magistrate colony. He was struck by an unidentified vehicle. The auto-rickshaw that struck him was allegedly stolen from Dhanbad and it was later found on Wednesday night in the neighboring Giridh district. CCTV footage showed that the auto-rickshaw deliberately rammed into the judge. The three-wheeler was seen suddenly swerving to the extreme left of the road and hitting the judge before running away. Later, A public transport driver discovered the judge lying in a pool of blood and transported him to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

The auto-rickshaw that killed District Judge Uttam Anand has been seized by Dhanbad police, and two people Lakhan Kumar Verma and Rahul Verma who were allegedly riding it have been arrested.

According to reports, the judge passed 36 orders in July of cases involving alleged sexual harassment, alleged diversion of scholarships meant for minority students, etc. Out of these 36 orders, 6 bails have been granted and the rest have been rejected, of which bail request of a suspected contract killer from Uttar Pradesh captured in Dhanbad jail in connection with a high-profile murder case was also denied. Officials, though, claimed it was too soon to connect the order to this case. Advocate Vikas Singh, President of Supreme Court Association said it is a brazen attack on the independence of the judiciary. He has sought a CBI inquiry into this matter.

Jharkhand Advocate General Rajiv Ranjan said that it looks like the Additional District & Sessions Judge was murdered intentionally. The police have detained the two passengers riding the vehicle and have also recovered the auto-rickshaw. A 14-member Special Investigations Team (SIT) has also been constituted to look into the incident.

-Report by RIDDHI DUBEY

Kerala High Court on Monday granted an order to terminate the pregnancy of a mentally disabled woman from Bihar as it believed that she was not in the state of mind to take such a big decision.

FACTS

In the present case, a woman was found roaming the street and was not in good mental condition. So she was first taken to a Police Station nearby then police took her to Mental Health Centre. At the Mental Health Centre, it was found that the woman is pregnant and is also mentally unstable. Police were not able to find her for her family or relative and it was also found that she was raped. So the Health Centre filed a petition asking the court to grant permission to terminate her pregnancy as she is not in the proper state of mind to conceive a child. A report from the medical board stated that the woman is suffering from mental retardation with psychosis due to which she is consuming multiple antipsychotic medications. As a result of the medication, there is a high risk for the woman and child.

JUDGEMENT

Kerala High Court took up the matter on 16th June and ordered the Permanent Medical Board to submit a report on whether the termination of pregnancy won’t put the life of the woman in danger and to determine whether she is capable of communicating or giving her consent. The report stated that terminating her pregnancy will not be endangering for her and her not in a position to give her consent in the matter. On Monday after going through the report High Court bench Justice P. B Suresh Kumar applied the doctrine of ‘parens patriae’ and permitted terminating her pregnancy stating that the decision is taken in her best interest as the continuation of the pregnancy may affect her mental health even more.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • The Judgment was given against Section 3(4)(a) of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971 but the relative family members of the relatives are Victims was not able to trace and the woman was not in the condition of giving her consent so Justice P. B Suresh Kumar passed an order by applying the doctrine of ‘parens patriae’ as it was its best interest of the Victim.

What is the Doctrine of “parens patriae”?

Parens Patriae in Latin means “parent of the nation”. In law, it refers to the power given to the state to step in, in case of an abusive or negligent parent, legal guardian, or informal caretaker, and to act as the parent of any child or individual who requires protection.

As per which Act the petition for termination of pregnancy filed by the court?

According to Section 3(4)(a) of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971 the petition for the termination of pregnancy was filed.

What does Section 3(4)(a) of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971 state?

As per Section 3(4)(a) of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971 no pregnancy of a woman, who has not attained the age of eighteen years, or, who, having attained the age of eighteen years, is mentally ill, shall be terminated except with the consent in writing of her guardian.
