It is submitted by learned counsel for the appellant that the appellant has no concern with the aforesaid occurrence. As a matter of fact, one cousin brother of the informant, namely, Vijay Paswan has filed Misc.

Slating the informant in the name of caste is said to have been made at the residence of the appellant and not in public view, hence no offence under SC/ST Act is made out against the appellant.
