ISHWAR PRATAP SINGH vs THE STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH HOME DEPARTMENT SECRETARY

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's refusal to quash the supplementary report under Section 482 of the CrPC was justified, as the report included charges under Section 3(1)(x) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act based on directions from the National Commission for Scheduled Castes. The Court emphasized that the addition of charges was permissible and did not violate the principles of fair trial or due process. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order.
