Yes, you can file an atrocity case against the man under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. Using abusive language based on caste against a member of a Scheduled Caste is a cognizable offense under the Act.

Previously, the upper age limit for this role was 30 years. However, this advertisement increased the age limit to 35 years.
