1 - 10 of 70 (0.43 seconds)State Of Haryana And Ors vs Ch. Bhajan Lal And Ors on 21 November, 1990
10. In dealing with the last category, it is important to bear
in mind the distinction between a case where there is no
legal evidence or where there is evidence which is clearly
inconsistent with the accusations made, and a case where
there is legal evidence which, on appreciation, may or may
not support the accusations. When exercising jurisdiction
under Section 482 CrPC, the High Court would not
ordinarily embark upon an enquiry whether the evidence
in question is reliable or not or whether on a reasonable
appreciation of it accusation would not be sustained. That
is the function of the trial Judge. Judicial process should
not be an instrument of oppression, or, needless
harassment. The court should be circumspect and judicious
in exercising discretion and should take all relevant facts
and circumstances into consideration before issuing
process, lest it would be an instrument in the hands of a
private complainant to unleash vendetta to harass any
person needlessly. At the same time the section is not an
instrument handed over to an accused to short-circuit a
prosecution and bring about its sudden death. The scope of
exercise of power under Section 482 CrPC and the
categories of cases where the High Court may exercise its

Aman Arora Jain Vs. Investigation Officer and others
power under it relating to cognizable offences to prevent
abuse of process of any court or otherwise to secure the
ends of justice were set out in some detail by this Court in
State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal. A note of caution was,
however, added that the power should be exercised
sparingly and that too in the rarest of rare cases. The
illustrative categories indicated by this Court are as
follows: (SCC pp. 378-79, para 102)
'(1) Where the allegations made in the first information
report or the complaint, even if they are taken at their face
value and accepted in their entirety do not prima facie
constitute any offence or make out a case against the
accused.

Janata Dal vs H.S. Chowdhary And Ors. on 28 August, 1992
[See Janata Dal v. H.S.
Chowdhary and Raghubir Saran (Dr.) v. State of Bihar.] It
would not be proper for the High Court to analyse the case
of the complainant in the light of all probabilities in order
to determine whether a conviction would be sustainable
and on such premises arrive at a conclusion that the
proceedings are to be quashed. It would be erroneous to
assess the material before it and conclude that the
complaint cannot be proceeded with. When an information
is lodged at the police station and an offence is registered,
then the mala fides of the informant would be of secondary
importance. It is the material collected during the
investigation and evidence led in the court which decides
the fate of the accused person. The allegations of mala
fides against the informant are of no consequence and
cannot by themselves be the basis for quashing the
proceedings.
