In a criminal case, the veiled object behind a lame prosecution the 24 very nature of material on which the structure of the prosecution rests and the like would justify the High Court in quashing the proceedings in the interest of justice. The ends of justice are higher than the ends of mere law though justice has got to be administered according to laws made by the legislature. The compelling necessity for making these observations is that without a proper realization of the object and purpose of the provision which seeks to save the inherent powers of the High Court to do justice between the stay and its subjects it would be impossible to appreciate the width and contours of that salient jurisdiction.
