"When there is a remedy under any enactment, the Court
cannot exercise its jurisdiction under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. But
in the exercise of this wholesome power, the High Court is
entitled to quash a proceeding if it comes to the conclusion that
allowing the proceeding to continue would be an abuse of the
process of the Court or that the ends of justice require that the
proceeding ought to be quashed. The saving of the High Court's
inherent powers, both in civil and criminal matters is designed to
achieve a salutary public purpose which is that a court
proceeding ought not to be permitted to degenerate into a weapon
of harassment or persecution. In a criminal case, the veiled object
behind a lame prosecution, the very nature of the material on
which the structure of the prosecution rests and the like would
justify the High Court in quashing the proceeding 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 realisation of the
object and purpose of the provision which seeks to save the
inherent powers of the High Court to do justice between the State
and its subjects it would be impossible to appreciate the width
and contours of that salient jurisdiction as held in "State of
Karnataka v. L.Muniswamy11"
