THE SCHEDULED CASTES AND THE SCHEDULED TRIBES (PREVENTION OF ATROCITIES) AMENDMENT ACT, 2015 is applicable only if the person who called the SC Madiga person by caste name is a Non-SC/ST.
SC/ST case will not be applicable in your case.
However you can file cases under Cr.P.C against the SC (Mala) person
