Abstract
In the matter of: Madhu Limaye V/s State of Maharashtra, (1977) 4 SCC 551, it was observed that, the legislature has sought to check delay in final disposal of proceedings in criminal cases by way of a bar to revisional jurisdiction against an interlocutory order under Sub-section (2) of Section 397 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (hereinafter referred to as the Cr.P.C). At the same time, inherent power of the High Court under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. is not limited or affected by any other provision of the Cr.P.C.; however, it could not mean that limitation on exercise of revisional power is to be set at naught. Inherent power can be used for securing ends of justice or to check abuse of the process of the court. Power under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. has to be exercised very sparingly against a proceeding initiated illegally or vexatiously or without jurisdiction.
