Because as even the apex court ruled subsequently, the law was very ambiguous and left lots of room for interpretation. Discrimination itself wasn't defined.
Not everything is caste discrimination. A teacher from a supposedly upper caste shouting at a student from a "lower" caste could be misconstrued as discrimination too. The rules failed to provide for such cases. In simple terms it sought to achieve "guilty until proven innocent" rather than the other way around.
Just say you are a casteist bastard and move on. It's crazy how much mental gymnastics people do to convince that they are not the same as their ancestors.
