In the instant case, when High Court quashed criminal proceedings, the IO had after doing the investigation and collecting the evidence, had filed the charge sheet before Magistrate for offences under Ss 147,148, 149, 406, 329 and 386 IPC and even Magistrate took the cognizance of the same. High court lost sight of crucial aspects which emerged during course of investigation. Therefore, the High Court has grossly erred in quashing the criminal proceedings by entering into the merits of the allegations as if the High Court was exercising the appellate jurisdiction and/or conducting the trial. Para 12. Held, unsustainable and the same deserves to be quashed. Restraint to be exercised by High Court while exercising inherent jurisdiction under S. 482.
