Introduction – Justice & Relief for Victims under the SC/ST Act
The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 is one of India’s most powerful human-rights laws.
It protects citizens belonging to SC and ST communities from atrocities, discrimination, and violence—and guarantees monetary relief and rehabilitation to victims or their families.
In 2025, the Government of India and several state governments, including Madhya Pradesh, revised compensation amounts and process guidelines.
