Case brief
What is this about?
Judgment analyzes the power of the High Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash non-compoundable criminal proceedings. It allows quashing where offences are non-heinous, private in nature, and parties have settled disputes willingly. Conversely, it prohibits quashing for grave offences affecting public policy or social fabric to prevent escaping justice.
