💐INHERENT POWERS OF HIGH COURT UNDER CRPC WITH IMPORTANT CASES💐
The Inherent Powers of the High Court
🌻Inherent Powers are those powers which are not mentioned anywhere in the code. Inherent power or inherent jurisdiction of the High Court may be exercised in a proper case either to prevent the abuse of the process of any court or to secure the ends of justice. These powers of the High Court should be used only in exceptional cases.
🌻In the following cases, the inherent power of the High Court could be exercised to quash the proceedings-
1. Where there is a legal bar against the institution or continuance of the proceedings.
2. Where the allegation in the first information report (FIR) or complaint does not constitute the offence alleged.
3. Where there is no legal evidence adduced in support of the charge or the evidence adduced clearly or failed to prove the charge.
✍The above list of points is not exhaustive. High court may exercise its inherent power in other situations as well, to serve the ends of justice.
