Inherent power is distinct from compounding under Section 320 CrPC and must be exercised sparingly, with regard to the gravity of the offence, supporting medical and other material, the stage of proceedings, and the accused's conduct and antecedents. Offences having a societal impact are not ordinarily fit for compromise-based quashing unless the record shows the accusation is unsupported and conviction is truly remote.
