Tulsi Kumar Saw vs The State Of Bihar on 9 December, 2025

"10. So far as the first question is concerned, it would be ad rem to outrightly refer to the recent decision of this Court in Ramgopal v. State of M.P. [Ramgopal v. State of M.P., (2022) 14 SCC 531 : 2021 SCC OnLine SC 834] , wherein, a two-Judge Bench of this Court consisting of two of us (N.V. Ramana, CJI & Surya Kant, J.) was confronted with an identical question. Answering in the affirmative, it has been clarified that the jurisdiction of a court under Section 320CrPC cannot be construed as a proscription against the invocation of inherent powers vested in this Court under Article 142 of the Constitution nor on the powers of the High Courts under Section 482CrPC. It was further held that the touchstone for exercising the extraordinary powers under Article 142 or Section 482CrPC, would be to do complete justice. Therefore, this Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.85692 of 2024 dt.09-12-2025 11/17 Court or the High Court, as the case may be, after having given due regard to the nature of the offence and the fact that the victim/complainant has willingly entered into a settlement/compromise, can quash proceedings in exercise of their respective constitutional/inherent powers.
