💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court of India upheld the Bombay High Court's interpretation of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, expanding the definition of "property" to include intellectual property, even in digital form. This decision came in response to a case filed by a Dalit couple, scholars from Jawaharlal Nehru University, who sought compensation for the theft of their research work.
