Jharkhand HC rejects bail in adivasi boycott case

The Jharkhand High Court rejected the bail requests of three men accused of boycotting the Paharia community, a vulnerable tribal group.

The court said this was a serious violation of their rights.

The Paharia people were stopped from celebrating Holi and were later boycotted socially and economically.

The court also criticized the police for not acting against this 'parallel administration' that was harming the community.

The case involves laws that protect scheduled castes and tribes from atrocities.
