Ramnikbhai Vallabhbhai Sojitra vs State Of Gujarat on 9 November, 2022
The Supreme Court in the case of R.P. KAPUR VS. STATE OF
PUNJAB [AIR 1960 SC Page 866] has laid down certain
categories of cases wherein inherent jurisdiction to quash
proceedings can and should be exercised. One of the said
categories is where it manifestly appears that there is a legal bar
against the institution or continuance of the criminal proceeding
in respect of the offence alleged. Absence of the requisite
sanction may, for instance, furnish cases under this category.
