https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=300979 Section 482 CrPC preserves the High Court's inherent power to quash non-compoundable criminal proceedings despite the compounding limits under Section 320 CrPC, where a genuine settlement serves the ends of justice and prevents abuse of process. This jurisdiction must be exercised sparingly and is generally unsuitable for serious or heinous offences, but may apply to disputes of a predominantly private, civil, or family character. The power may be exercised even after trial-court conviction while an appeal is pending, if the compromise is voluntary and bona fide and continued prosecution would frustrate justice. On that basis, the conviction and complaint were set aside for the petitioners and the appeal became infructuous. en-us Tue, 09 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 05 Mar 2022 17:57:29 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=300979 Section 482 CrPC preserves the High Court's inherent power to quash non-compoundable criminal proceedings despite the compounding limits under Section 320 CrPC, where a genuine settlement serves the ends of justice and prevents abuse of process.
