desirable in the existing law, practice and procedure relating to
criminal trials in which the plea of insanity as a defence is
raised, and whether any and, if so, what changes should be
made in the existing law and practice in respect of cases falling
within the provisions of Section 2 (4) of the Criminal Lunatics
Act, 1884."
