    Case Summary: Samanthi v. State of Tamil Nadu (829/2026) The court granted bail to Samanthi, accused of assault and caste-based abuse under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 and BNS, 2023. The court considered that the dispute originated between schoolchildren, the victim was discharged from hospital, and the accused had remained in custody for 13 days. The court found that whether caste-abusive words were actually uttered could only be determined after full trial, particularly given the accused's illiteracy and lack of prior knowledge of the victim's caste. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
