State Of Haryana And Ors vs Ch. Bhajan Lal And Ors on 21 November, 1990
12. The counsel appearing for the appellant also drew our
attention to the same decision which is relied upon in the
impugned judgment by the High Court i.e. State of
HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH,
BENCH AT GWALIOR
M.Cr.C. No. 44175/2021
( Sangeeta Bhadoriya Vs The State of MP. & another )

Haryana v. Bhajan Lal. In the said decision, this Court
held that it may not be possible to lay down any specific
guidelines or watertight compartment as to when the
power under Section 482 CrPC could be or is to be
exercised. This Court, however, gave an exhaustive list of
various kinds of cases wherein such power could be
exercised. In para 103 of the said judgment, this Court,
however, hastened to add that as a note of caution it must
be stated that the power of quashing a criminal proceeding
should be exercised very sparingly and with
circumspection and that too in the rarest of rare cases for
the Court would not be justified in embarking upon an
inquiry as to the reliability or genuineness or otherwise of
the allegations made in the first information report or in
the complaint and that the extraordinary or the inherent
powers do not confer an arbitrary jurisdiction on the Court
to act according to its whim or caprice.
