Question

The Constitution of India guarantees protection from social injustice and all different forms of exploitation. Which of the following is an INCORRECT option pertaining to the protective legislations enacted by respective governments?

1. A. Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2000
2. B. Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Economic offenses against tribal people) Act, 2005
3. C. The Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955
4. D. Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989

Answer

Correct option: B - Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Economic offenses against tribal people) Act, 2005

The "Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Economic offenses against tribal people) Act, 2005" is an incorrectly named act -- it does not exist. The actual protective legislation is the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, which protects SC/ST communities from atrocities and discrimination. The other options -- Forest Rights Act 2006, Protection of Civil Rights Act 1955, and Prevention of Atrocities Act 1989 -- are all real and correctly named protective legislations.
