Kapur v. State of Punjab (AIR 1960 SC 866) - The Supreme Court established that criminal proceedings can be quashed under Section 561A (now Section 482 Cr.P.C.) in specific circumstances. It outlined categories of cases where inherent jurisdiction should be exercised, such as when the FIR does not disclose a cognizable offense, when the allegations are frivolous or malicious, or when continuation would amount to abuse of process. The case emphasized that judicial intervention should prevent persecution and safeguard the integrity of justice Chullhan Ram S/o Late Dilram Ram VS State of Bihar through the Home Secretary, Govt. of Bihar, Old Secretariat, Patna.
