Abuse of SC/ST candidate is really one of the criminal act..due to ingredients fulfillment.
As you are seeking the future which lies on the different factors of the proceedings hopefully you can understand the same.

Hello,

He cannot be solely dismissed on the ground that he has been found guilty for a crime, to suspend him from the job the government// department will have to initiate disciplinary proceedings against him and then only can they suspend him.
maximum punishment under section 3 (1)(10) sc/st act is 5 years. You always have the recourse to file an appeal if the lower court convicts your brother.
