Judgment text as reported

State VS IKRAMULLAH Ss. 561-a, 249-a & 265-K---Inherent powers of High Court---Power of Magistrate to acquit accused at any stage---Power of Court to acquit accused at any stage---Scope---Section 561-a, Cr.P.C., confers upon High Court inherent powers to make such orders as may be necessary to give effect to any order under the Criminal Procedure Code or to prevent abuse of process of any Court or otherwise to secure the ends of justice---Such powers are very wide and can be exercised by High Court at any time---High Court ordinarily does not quash proceedings under S.561-a, Cr.P.C., unless trial court exercises its powers under S.249-a or 265-K, Cr.P.C., which are incidentally of the same nature and in a way akin to and co-related with quashing of proceedings as envisaged under S.561-a, Cr.P.C.---High Court can, in exceptional cases, exercise its jurisdiction under S.561-a, Cr.P.C., without waiting for trial court to pass orders under S.249-a or 265-K, Cr.P.C., if the facts of the case so warrant to prevent abuse of process of any Court or otherwise to secure the ends of justice.
