It is not an appellate or revisional power, so the High Court should not assess evidence, credibility, or probable defence at the investigation stage or where the matter is not fit for trial-level scrutiny. Quashing is confined to narrow categories, including cases where the allegations do not disclose any offence, a legal bar applies, or the proceeding is manifestly abusive.
