The petitions were dismissed due to delay, laches, and failure to avail the alternate efficacious remedy of revision petitions u/s 397 of CrPC. The inherent powers u/s 482 CrPC, though wide, are subject to self-restraint and should not subvert specific provisions like Section 397(2) CrPC. The petitioners let the proceedings continue and challenged maintainability only after the complainant's evidence stage, despite having an efficacious alternate remedy available earlier.
