Ishwar Pratap Singh vs The State Of Uttar Pradesh Home ...

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's refusal to quash the supplementary charge sheet under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 was justified. The Court emphasized that the addition of Section 3(1)(x) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act was warranted based on the National Commission for Scheduled Castes' directions, thus establishing that the Commission's recommendations can influence the charges in ongoing investigations. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order and allowing the prosecution to proceed under the amended charges.
