Abstract

The decision of the Supreme Court of India in Subhash Kashinath Mahajan v The State of Maharashtra has undermined the preambular ideals, which declare India as a socialist and democratic republic, assuring its citizens of justice, equality, and liberty. This case comment analyzes the arguments advanced by the Supreme Court of India in Subhash Kashinath Mahajan v The State of Maharashtra. It argues that the Court’s misuse of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, was based on anecdotal evidence and devoid of merits.

Nonetheless, this case comment also dwells on how Subhash Kashinath Mahajan v The State of Maharashtra remedies the effects of societal discrimination in India.
