IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR

Renwat Ram S/o Sh. Bhaira Ram - Petitioner
Versus
State Of Rajasthan, Through PP and ors. – Respondents
S.B. Criminal Misc(Pet.) No. 3094, 4825 of 2023
Decided On : 07-11-2023

Advocates:
Advocate Appeared:
For the Petitioner: Mr. DS Gharsana
For the Respondent: Mr. Ramawatar Singh, Mr. S.K. Mehar, PP

Headnote:

Interlocutory - Abuse of process of court - Ends of justice - Interlocutory - Lacuna fill up - Asphyxia due to Antemortem Hanging

Fact of the Case:

The court discussed the interpretation and application of Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) in relation to interlocutory orders and the inherent power of the High Court. The case also involved the determination of the cause of death as 'Asphyxia due to Antemortem Hanging.'

Finding of the Court:

The court found that the bar provided in Section 397(2) of the CrPC operates only in exercise of the revisional power of the High Court, and the High Court will refuse to exercise its inherent power if the impugned order is purely of an interlocutory character. However, if the impugned order clearly brings about a situation which is an abuse of the process of the Court or for the purpose of securing the ends of justice, interference by the High Court is absolutely necessary.

Issues: Interpretation and application of Section 482 of the CrPC, determination of cause of death

Ratio Decidendi: The court clarified the scope and application of Section 482 of the CrPC in relation to interlocutory orders and the inherent power of the High Court. It also emphasized the limited circumstances under which the High Court can interfere with interlocutory orders for the purpose of securing the ends of justice.

Final Decision: The court held that the inherent power of the High Court can be exercised sparingly in cases where the impugned order brings about a situation which is an abuse of the process of the Court or for the purpose of securing the ends of justice.
