STATE OF M.P. vs BHOORAJI .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of trial proceedings under the SC/ST Act, specifically regarding the necessity of committal proceedings as per Section 193 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Court held that the High Court's decision to order a retrial was erroneous, as the Full Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court had previously ruled that committal orders are not required under the SC/ST Act. Consequently, the Supreme Court quashed the High Court's order for retrial, reaffirming the legal position established in Anand Swaroop vs. Ram Ratan.
