In any case, in the Lalita Kumari case, the Supreme Court had referred to some types of cases in which a preliminary enquiry may be necessary before registration of FIR.

In the judgment referred to by you for cases under SC/ST Act, the Supreme Court has laid down some safeguards in view of alleged misuse of the said Act, as mentioned by the court. This matter is already pending before the Supreme Court in a review petition. If you are aggrieved by this judgment, you can approach the Supreme Court.
