Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
The High Court, hearing a criminal petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C., observed that since an alternative remedy exists (filing a discharge petition in the lower court), the court should refrain from invoking its inherent powers. It directed the petitioners to seek discharge on merits before the trial court.
What did the court decide?
The High Court did not exercise jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C.; instead, it directed the petitioners to file a discharge petition before the lower court seeking discharge on merits.
