&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Finding tension still simmering in Haryana&#039;s Mirchpur village more than three years after dalit houses were torched resulting in a handicapped girl and her father getting burnt to death, the Supreme Court on Monday asked the state, &amp;quot;Who is dividing society on caste lines?&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The Haryana government&#039;s counsel answered, &amp;quot;The powerful and those in power.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The question from a bench of Justices G S Singhvi and V Gopala Gowda came after one of the victims, through counsel Colin Gonsalves, said it was impossible for them to return to their homes and start life afresh given the continuing threats and ostracism. Most of the victims had fled the village after the khap panchayat ordered their social and economic boycott.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Gonsalves claimed that provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and the rules which mandated proper rehabilitation, including re-settling the victims at a different place with allotment of land, had not taken place. He, however, said compensation had been paid by the state.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The bench asked Haryana counsel P N Misra why so much social tension still prevailed among the castes. In a roundabout manner, Misra said politics was being played on the unfortunate incident and attempts were being made to keep the caste cauldron boiling.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The bench asked, &amp;quot;Who is dividing society on caste lines?&amp;quot; When Misra said the powerful and those in power, the court asked him to name them. The counsel said it was difficult for him to take names as he was apprehensive of the fallout of his statement on the state&#039;s political fabric, dominated by the powerful and influential khaps.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The bench understood the counsel&#039;s predicament and said, &amp;quot;We are fearing to speak out (against the powerful and those in power). That is the problem.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The court also asked him why alternative land for settlement of the victims had not been identified as was mandated under the law. It also found that the Haryana government was yet to implement many of the provisions of the Act.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In a state which has in the past witnessed major fights over ownership of land, Misra said he was apprehensive that allotment of alternative land to a particular community would send a wrong signal. He said the state has already rebuilt the 18 houses which were torched in the April 21, 2010 incident.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But the court stuck to the implementation of provisions of SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and Rules, which mandated the government to speed up prosecution of cases arising out of atrocities against dalits, appointment of nodal officers to identify caste-oppression areas and also resorting to community fines for such incidents.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
It asked the Haryana government to provide details to the court on implementation of the Act by Thursday. The bench of Justices Singhvi and Gowda also took up the issue of damage to railway property arising from agitation by Jats demanding their inclusion in the OBC category. The railways had suffered an estimated loss of Rs 30 crore.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The bench asked Union of India&#039;s counsel J S Atri what steps were taken by the railways to recover the damage from the Haryana government in the last three years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
When Atri hedged an answer by seeking time to get response from the government, the bench said, &amp;quot;Do you intend to write it off? Or, are you suggesting that you will take 30 more years to recover it? There must of hundreds of such incidents where public property has been damaged. If the states have failed to protect public property, then they too are responsible for the loss of public property and must compensate the sufferer. Have guts to recover the value of damaged public property.&amp;quot;

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Finding tension still simmering in Haryana&#039;s Mirchpur village more than three years after dalit houses were torched resulting in a handicapped girl and her father getting burnt to death, the Supreme Court on Monday asked the state, &amp;quot;Who is dividing society on caste lines?&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The Haryana government&#039;s counsel answered, &amp;quot;The powerful and those in power.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The question from a bench of Justices G S Singhvi and V Gopala Gowda came after one of the victims, through counsel Colin Gonsalves, said it was impossible for them to return to their homes and start life afresh given the continuing threats and ostracism. Most of the victims had fled the village after the khap panchayat ordered their social and economic boycott.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Gonsalves claimed that provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and the rules which mandated proper rehabilitation, including re-settling the victims at a different place with allotment of land, had not taken place. He, however, said compensation had been paid by the state.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The bench asked Haryana counsel P N Misra why so much social tension still prevailed among the castes. In a roundabout manner, Misra said politics was being played on the unfortunate incident and attempts were being made to keep the caste cauldron boiling.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The bench asked, &amp;quot;Who is dividing society on caste lines?&amp;quot; When Misra said the powerful and those in power, the court asked him to name them. The counsel said it was difficult for him to take names as he was apprehensive of the fallout of his statement on the state&#039;s political fabric, dominated by the powerful and influential khaps.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The bench understood the counsel&#039;s predicament and said, &amp;quot;We are fearing to speak out (against the powerful and those in power). That is the problem.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The court also asked him why alternative land for settlement of the victims had not been identified as was mandated under the law. It also found that the Haryana government was yet to implement many of the provisions of the Act.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In a state which has in the past witnessed major fights over ownership of land, Misra said he was apprehensive that allotment of alternative land to a particular community would send a wrong signal. He said the state has already rebuilt the 18 houses which were torched in the April 21, 2010 incident.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But the court stuck to the implementation of provisions of SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and Rules, which mandated the government to speed up prosecution of cases arising out of atrocities against dalits, appointment of nodal officers to identify caste-oppression areas and also resorting to community fines for such incidents.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
It asked the Haryana government to provide details to the court on implementation of the Act by Thursday. The bench of Justices Singhvi and Gowda also took up the issue of damage to railway property arising from agitation by Jats demanding their inclusion in the OBC category. The railways had suffered an estimated loss of Rs 30 crore.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The bench asked Union of India&#039;s counsel J S Atri what steps were taken by the railways to recover the damage from the Haryana government in the last three years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
When Atri hedged an answer by seeking time to get response from the government, the bench said, &amp;quot;Do you intend to write it off? Or, are you suggesting that you will take 30 more years to recover it? There must of hundreds of such incidents where public property has been damaged. If the states have failed to protect public property, then they too are responsible for the loss of public property and must compensate the sufferer. Have guts to recover the value of damaged public property.&amp;quot;

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Finding tension still simmering in Haryana&#039;s Mirchpur village more than three years after dalit houses were torched resulting in a handicapped girl and her father getting burnt to death, the Supreme Court on Monday asked the state, &amp;quot;Who is dividing society on caste lines?&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The Haryana government&#039;s counsel answered, &amp;quot;The powerful and those in power.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The question from a bench of Justices G S Singhvi and V Gopala Gowda came after one of the victims, through counsel Colin Gonsalves, said it was impossible for them to return to their homes and start life afresh given the continuing threats and ostracism. Most of the victims had fled the village after the khap panchayat ordered their social and economic boycott.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Gonsalves claimed that provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and the rules which mandated proper rehabilitation, including re-settling the victims at a different place with allotment of land, had not taken place. He, however, said compensation had been paid by the state.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The bench asked Haryana counsel P N Misra why so much social tension still prevailed among the castes. In a roundabout manner, Misra said politics was being played on the unfortunate incident and attempts were being made to keep the caste cauldron boiling.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The bench asked, &amp;quot;Who is dividing society on caste lines?&amp;quot; When Misra said the powerful and those in power, the court asked him to name them. The counsel said it was difficult for him to take names as he was apprehensive of the fallout of his statement on the state&#039;s political fabric, dominated by the powerful and influential khaps.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The bench understood the counsel&#039;s predicament and said, &amp;quot;We are fearing to speak out (against the powerful and those in power). That is the problem.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The court also asked him why alternative land for settlement of the victims had not been identified as was mandated under the law. It also found that the Haryana government was yet to implement many of the provisions of the Act.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In a state which has in the past witnessed major fights over ownership of land, Misra said he was apprehensive that allotment of alternative land to a particular community would send a wrong signal. He said the state has already rebuilt the 18 houses which were torched in the April 21, 2010 incident.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But the court stuck to the implementation of provisions of SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and Rules, which mandated the government to speed up prosecution of cases arising out of atrocities against dalits, appointment of nodal officers to identify caste-oppression areas and also resorting to community fines for such incidents.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
It asked the Haryana government to provide details to the court on implementation of the Act by Thursday. The bench of Justices Singhvi and Gowda also took up the issue of damage to railway property arising from agitation by Jats demanding their inclusion in the OBC category. The railways had suffered an estimated loss of Rs 30 crore.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The bench asked Union of India&#039;s counsel J S Atri what steps were taken by the railways to recover the damage from the Haryana government in the last three years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
When Atri hedged an answer by seeking time to get response from the government, the bench said, &amp;quot;Do you intend to write it off? Or, are you suggesting that you will take 30 more years to recover it? There must of hundreds of such incidents where public property has been damaged. If the states have failed to protect public property, then they too are responsible for the loss of public property and must compensate the sufferer. Have guts to recover the value of damaged public property.&amp;quot;

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Finding tension still simmering in Haryana&#039;s Mirchpur village more than three years after dalit houses were torched resulting in a handicapped girl and her father getting burnt to death, the Supreme Court on Monday asked the state, &amp;quot;Who is dividing society on caste lines?&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The Haryana government&#039;s counsel answered, &amp;quot;The powerful and those in power.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The question from a bench of Justices G S Singhvi and V Gopala Gowda came after one of the victims, through counsel Colin Gonsalves, said it was impossible for them to return to their homes and start life afresh given the continuing threats and ostracism. Most of the victims had fled the village after the khap panchayat ordered their social and economic boycott.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Gonsalves claimed that provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and the rules which mandated proper rehabilitation, including re-settling the victims at a different place with allotment of land, had not taken place. He, however, said compensation had been paid by the state.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The bench asked Haryana counsel P N Misra why so much social tension still prevailed among the castes. In a roundabout manner, Misra said politics was being played on the unfortunate incident and attempts were being made to keep the caste cauldron boiling.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The bench asked, &amp;quot;Who is dividing society on caste lines?&amp;quot; When Misra said the powerful and those in power, the court asked him to name them. The counsel said it was difficult for him to take names as he was apprehensive of the fallout of his statement on the state&#039;s political fabric, dominated by the powerful and influential khaps.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The bench understood the counsel&#039;s predicament and said, &amp;quot;We are fearing to speak out (against the powerful and those in power). That is the problem.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The court also asked him why alternative land for settlement of the victims had not been identified as was mandated under the law. It also found that the Haryana government was yet to implement many of the provisions of the Act.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In a state which has in the past witnessed major fights over ownership of land, Misra said he was apprehensive that allotment of alternative land to a particular community would send a wrong signal. He said the state has already rebuilt the 18 houses which were torched in the April 21, 2010 incident.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But the court stuck to the implementation of provisions of SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and Rules, which mandated the government to speed up prosecution of cases arising out of atrocities against dalits, appointment of nodal officers to identify caste-oppression areas and also resorting to community fines for such incidents.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
It asked the Haryana government to provide details to the court on implementation of the Act by Thursday. The bench of Justices Singhvi and Gowda also took up the issue of damage to railway property arising from agitation by Jats demanding their inclusion in the OBC category. The railways had suffered an estimated loss of Rs 30 crore.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The bench asked Union of India&#039;s counsel J S Atri what steps were taken by the railways to recover the damage from the Haryana government in the last three years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
When Atri hedged an answer by seeking time to get response from the government, the bench said, &amp;quot;Do you intend to write it off? Or, are you suggesting that you will take 30 more years to recover it? There must of hundreds of such incidents where public property has been damaged. If the states have failed to protect public property, then they too are responsible for the loss of public property and must compensate the sufferer. Have guts to recover the value of damaged public property.&amp;quot;

<em>NEW DELHI: </em>Finding tension still simmering in Haryana's Mirchpur village more than three years after dalit houses were torched resulting in a handicapped girl and her father getting burnt to death, the Supreme Court on Monday asked the state, &quot;Who is dividing society on caste lines?&quot;
</p>
<p align="justify">
The Haryana government's counsel answered, &quot;The powerful and those in power.&quot;
</p>
<p align="justify">
The question from a bench of Justices G S Singhvi and V Gopala Gowda came after one of the victims, through counsel Colin Gonsalves, said it was impossible for them to return to their homes and start life afresh given the continuing threats and ostracism. Most of the victims had fled the village after the khap panchayat ordered their social and economic boycott.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Gonsalves claimed that provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and the rules which mandated proper rehabilitation, including re-settling the victims at a different place with allotment of land, had not taken place. He, however, said compensation had been paid by the state.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The bench asked Haryana counsel P N Misra why so much social tension still prevailed among the castes. In a roundabout manner, Misra said politics was being played on the unfortunate incident and attempts were being made to keep the caste cauldron boiling.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The bench asked, &quot;Who is dividing society on caste lines?&quot; When Misra said the powerful and those in power, the court asked him to name them. The counsel said it was difficult for him to take names as he was apprehensive of the fallout of his statement on the state's political fabric, dominated by the powerful and influential khaps.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The bench understood the counsel's predicament and said, &quot;We are fearing to speak out (against the powerful and those in power). That is the problem.&quot;
</p>
<p align="justify">
The court also asked him why alternative land for settlement of the victims had not been identified as was mandated under the law. It also found that the Haryana government was yet to implement many of the provisions of the Act.
</p>
<p align="justify">
In a state which has in the past witnessed major fights over ownership of land, Misra said he was apprehensive that allotment of alternative land to a particular community would send a wrong signal. He said the state has already rebuilt the 18 houses which were torched in the April 21, 2010 incident.
</p>
<p align="justify">
But the court stuck to the implementation of provisions of SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and Rules, which mandated the government to speed up prosecution of cases arising out of atrocities against dalits, appointment of nodal officers to identify caste-oppression areas and also resorting to community fines for such incidents.
</p>
<p align="justify">
It asked the Haryana government to provide details to the court on implementation of the Act by Thursday. The bench of Justices Singhvi and Gowda also took up the issue of damage to railway property arising from agitation by Jats demanding their inclusion in the OBC category. The railways had suffered an estimated loss of Rs 30 crore.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The bench asked Union of India's counsel J S Atri what steps were taken by the railways to recover the damage from the Haryana government in the last three years.
</p>
<p align="justify">
When Atri hedged an answer by seeking time to get response from the government, the bench said, &quot;Do you intend to write it off? Or, are you suggesting that you will take 30 more years to recover it? There must of hundreds of such incidents where public property has been damaged. If the states have failed to protect public property, then they too are responsible for the loss of public property and must compensate the sufferer.

Who is dividing society on caste lines? SC asks -Dhananjay Mahapatra

-The Times of India NEW DELHI: Finding tension still simmering in Haryana's Mirchpur village more than three years after dalit houses were torched resulting in a handicapped girl and her father getting burnt to death, the Supreme Court on Monday asked the state, "Who is dividing society on caste lines?" The Haryana government's counsel answered, "The powerful and those in power." The question from a bench of Justices G S Singhvi and V Gopala Gowda came after one of the victims, through counsel Colin Gonsalves, said it was impossible for them to return to their homes and start life afresh given the continuing threats and ostracism. Most of the victims had fled the village after the khap panchayat ordered their social and economic boycott. Gonsalves claimed that provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and the rules which mandated proper rehabilitation, including re-settling the victims at a different place with allotment of land, had not taken place. He, however, said compensation had been paid by the state. The bench asked Haryana counsel P N Misra why so much social tension still prevailed among the castes. In a roundabout manner, Misra said politics was being played on the unfortunate incident and attempts were being made to keep the caste cauldron boiling. The bench asked, "Who is dividing society on caste lines?" When Misra said the powerful and those in power, the court asked him to name them. The counsel said it was difficult for him to take names as he was apprehensive of the fallout of his statement on the state's political fabric, dominated by the powerful and influential khaps. The bench understood the counsel's predicament and said, "We are fearing to speak out (against the powerful and those in power). That is the problem." The court also asked him why alternative land for settlement of the victims had not been identified as was mandated under the law. It also found that the Haryana government was yet to implement many of the provisions of the Act. In a state which has in the past witnessed major fights over ownership of land, Misra said he was apprehensive that allotment of alternative land to a particular community would send a wrong signal. He said the state has already rebuilt the 18 houses which were torched in the April 21, 2010 incident. But the court stuck to the implementation of provisions of SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and Rules, which mandated the government to speed up prosecution of cases arising out of atrocities against dalits, appointment of nodal officers to identify caste-oppression areas and also resorting to community fines for such incidents. It asked the Haryana government to provide details to the court on implementation of the Act by Thursday. The bench of Justices Singhvi and Gowda also took up the issue of damage to railway property arising from agitation by Jats demanding their inclusion in the OBC category. The railways had suffered an estimated loss of Rs 30 crore. The bench asked Union of India's counsel J S Atri what steps were taken by the railways to recover the damage from the Haryana government in the last three years. When Atri hedged an answer by seeking time to get response from the government, the bench said, "Do you intend to write it off? Or, are you suggesting that you will take 30 more years to recover it? There must of hundreds of such incidents where public property has been damaged. If the states have failed to protect public property, then they too are responsible for the loss of public property and must compensate the sufferer. Have guts to recover the value of damaged public property."
