COMMENTS
Quashing proceedings.—The Court should not, except in extraordinary circumstances, exercise its jurisdiction, under Section 482, Cr. P.C., so as to quash the prosecution proceeding after they have been launched. The power of quashing criminal proceedings should be exercised very sparingly and with circumspection and that too, in the rarest of rare cases; the Court will not be justified in embarking upon an enquiry as to the reliability or genuineness or otherwise of the allegations made in the FIR/complaint. The extraordinary or inherent power does not confer an arbitrary jurisdiction on the Court to act according to its whim or caprice. [State of Maharashtra v. Ishwar Piraji Kalpatu, 1996 Cr LJ 1127 (SC).
Where prima facie case is made out, FIR cannot be quashed under Section 482 Cr. P.C. [Vivay Kumar v. State of Punjab, 1996 Cr LJ 3070 (P &H).]
