If the quarrel was caste based then a complaint in this regard is certainly maintainable.

Did you talk about a particular person or in general? However, you should not talk about sc/sts.

yes anywhere, any time

You have not elaborated on the "Caste-based slur". In the context of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, the term “public view” is used instead of “public place. “Within public view” extends beyond physical public places and encompasses situations where the public can witness the offense, even if it occurs in private spaces. The focus is on visibility and audibility rather than strict geographical boundaries. If an incident is observable by others, it falls within the scope of the Act. Accordingly, you may conclude about the Office Chamber you mentioned in your query. Whether it is an offense or not is not decided as to when it is committed viz. within office hours or outside the officer hours.
