The Bombay High Court (Nagpur Bench)Division Bench’s verdict in the Khairlanji case has shaken the conscience of all right-thinking people, as the Judges refused to see any caste prejudice to the killing of Dalits by upper caste persons. The entire Judgment can be downloaded from here. Articles by Brinda Karat and Manoj Mitta are especially useful to understand this judgment. A new book on the subject, written by Anand Teltumbde has been published by Navayana.
