full form of SC is schedule caste and full form of ST is schedule tribes.
the SC/ST ACT was :-
The Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 , mostly known as the SC/ST Act is an Act of the Parliament of Indiaenacted to prevent atrocities against scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. The Act is also popularly known as POA, the Prevention of Atrocities Act, or simply the Atrocities Act.
The normal provisions of the existing laws like, the Protection of Civil Rights Act 1955 and Indian Penal Code have been found inadequate to check these atrocities[1]continuing the gross indignities and offences against Scheduled Castes and Tribes. Recognising these, the Parliament passed ‘Scheduled Caste and Schedule The preamble of the Act also states that the Act is:
“to prevent the commission of offences of atrocities against the members of Scheduled Castes and Tribes, to provide for Special Courts for the trial of such offences and for the relief and rehabilitation of the victims of such offences and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.”
Thus objectives of the Act clearly emphasize the intention of the Government to deliver justice to these communities through proactive efforts to enable them to live in society with dignity and self-esteem and without fear or violence or suppression from the dominant castes. The practice of untouchability, in its overt and covert form was made a cognizable and non compoundable offence, and strict punishment is provided for any such offence.
The SCs and STs (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 with stringent provisions (which extends to whole of India except the State of Jammu & Kashmir) was enacted on 9 September 1989. Section 23(1) of the Act authorises the Central Government to frame rules for carrying out the purpose of the Act. Drawing power from this section, the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Rules of 1995 were framed.[2] The rules for the Act were notified on 31 March 1995.
The purpose of the Act was to help the social inclusion of Dalits into Indian society, but the Act has failed to live up to its expectations admitted by the Union Minister for Home Affairs in parliament on 30 August 2010 (quoted below).[3].
A number of cases of misuse of this act has been reported from different parts of the country.
