HC declined to quash a cheque dishonour complaint under the inherent jurisdiction because the consent terms prima facie suspended remedies without extinguishing the pending prosecution, and the dispute over transfer of liability and the effect of settlement raised factual and interpretive issues unsuitable for pre-trial interference. The Court distinguished settlements that subsume the original complaint and held that quashing is confined to cases where unimpeachable material completely displaces the allegations. It also upheld closure of cross-examination after repeated adjournments, rejected the challenge to framing of notice in light of counsel's submission that payment could not be made and the matter should proceed, and found no prejudice was shown in the recording of the accused's statement.
