222. Procedure where accused does not understand proceedings

If the accused, though not insane, cannot be made to understand the proceedings, the Court may proceed with the inquiry or trial and, in cases other than cases before the High Court, if such inquiry results in a commitment, or if such trial results in a conviction, the proceedings shall be forwarded to the High Court with a report of the circumstances of the case, and the High Court shall make therein such order or pass such sentence as it thinks fit.
