Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a criminal appeal concerning allegations made under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, and the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Court held that the complaints filed by the trainees at the Olympic Riding and Equestrian Academy did not substantiate the claims of harassment and cruelty as defined under the Act. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the charges against the appellants were quashed, emphasizing the need for credible evidence in such serious allegations.
