Central Bureau Of Investigation vs Shri Ravi Shankar Srivastava, Ias And ... on 10 August, 2006
[7.0] It is necessary to consider whether the power conferred by
the High Court under section 482 of the CrPC is warranted. It is
true that the powers under Section 482 of the Code are very
wide and the very plenitude of the power requires great caution
in its exercise. The Court must be careful to see that its decision
in exercise of this power is based on sound principles. The
inherent power should not be exercised to stifle a legitimate
prosecution. The High Court being the highest court of a State
should normally refrain from giving a prima facie decision in a
case where the entire facts are incomplete and hazy, more so
when the evidence has not been collected and produced before
the Court and the issues involved, whether factual or legal, are of
magnitude and cannot be seen in their true perspective without
sufficient material. Of course, no hard-and-fast rule can be laid
down in regard to cases in which the High Court will exercise its
extraordinary jurisdiction of quashing the proceeding at any
stage as the Hon'ble Supreme Court has decided in the case of
Central Bureau of Investigation vs. Ravi Shankar Srivastava,
IAS & Anr., reported in AIR 2006 SC 2872.

Investigation & Anr., reported in 2009 (1) GLH 31, (iv) Manoj
Sharma Vs. State & Ors., reported in 2009 (1) GLH 190 and (v)
Narinder Singh & Ors. Vs. State of Punjab & Anr. reported in
2014 (2) Crime 67 (SC) as also considering the fact that now the
dispute is amicably settled and accused No.1 - petitioner No.1
has assured the complainant that he will not harass the victim
and even the complainant has affirmed the fact of settlement by
filing her affidavit and hence, in the opinion of this Court, the
further continuation of criminal proceedings against the present
petitioners in relation to the impugned FIR would cause
unnecessary harassment to the petitioners. Further, the
continuance of trial pursuant to the mutual settlement arrived at
between the parties would be a futile exercise. Even, considering
the tender age of accused persons and the fact that they do not
have any past antecedents, to secure the ends of justice, it would
be appropriate to quash and set aside the impugned FIR and all
consequential proceedings initiated in pursuance thereof under
Section 482 of the Cr.P.C..
