1 - 5 of 5 (0.17 seconds)State Of Haryana And Ors vs Ch. Bhajan Lal And Ors on 21 November, 1990
In the law laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of State of Haryana
and others v. Bhajan Lal and others, reported in 1992 Supp (1) SCC 335,
the Supreme Court has elaborately considered the scope of Section 482 Cr.
P.C. In this case the Supreme Court had the occasion to determine the power
of the High Court to quash the entire criminal proceeding including the FIR.
The case under scrutiny arose out of an FIR registered under Sections 161,
165 IPC and Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947. After
noticing the earlier pronouncements on the subject, the Supreme Court
detailed with lace certain categories of cases by way of illustration where
power under Section 482 of the Cr. P.C. can be exercised to prevent the
abuse of the process of the Court or secure the ends of justice. Paragraph
102 of the judgment provides seven categories of cases where the
provisions of Section 482 Cr. P.C. can be invoked and these are extracted
below:
Section 161 in The Indian Penal Code, 1860 [Entire Act]
Section 165 in The Indian Penal Code, 1860 [Entire Act]
The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973
