Special Leave Petition dismissed: inherent powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. cannot decide disputed facts in cheque dishonour cases
SC dismissed the Special Leave Petition, upholding the HC's view that inherent powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. cannot be used to determine disputed questions of fact; such matters are for the trial court to decide after examining evidence. The Court found no reason to interfere with the HC's order in the dishonour of cheque proceedings.
The Court, after considering the matter "in its entirety," concluded there was no ground for intervention and thus "the Special Leave Petition stands dismissed." The decision rests on lack of sufficient reason to warrant interference with the impugned order or judgment, indicating the high threshold for grant of special leave was not met. As a corollary, all pending applications arising from the petition were ordered to "stand disposed of." No further factual or legal elaboration was recorded in the short order.
