A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, “committal” refers to the act of sending a person to prison or a mental health facility by a court order, typically after being charged with a crime or found to be mentally unfit to stand trial. It can also refer to the process of transferring a case from a lower court to a higher court for further proceedings.
Example: After the preliminary hearing, the judge ordered the committal of the defendant to stand trial for the charges of fraud and embezzlement.
