Protection
of Civil Rights Act, 1955
Because of the caste stigma in our society, an acute problem of untouchability is still prevailing and Scheduled Castes persons are not getting their due share of benefit in occupational opportunities as compared to other members of the society. After independence a provision was made under article 17 of the Constitution of India, whereby untouchability was abolished. In accordance with these constitutional provisions the Government of Rajasthan has adopted "Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955." Under this Act strengthening measures have been made regarding punishment etc. and offence of untouchability has been made cognizable. The instance of prevention of entry of Scheduled Castes into temples should be carefully tackled. Those encouraging such discriminatory practices and promoting disaffection in the society should be prevented from doing so by launching prosecution against them. The State Government has also issued various orders and instructions from time to time for the removal of various hardships and problems from which the members of Scheduled Castes have been suffering. Under the P.C.R. Act, 6 special courts and 2 designated courts have been established.
