No Absolute Rule That HC Cannot Interfere In S.482 CrPC Petition If Investigation Is At Preliminary Stage : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court recently held that there is no absolute rule that the High Court cannot interfere in a Section 482 CrPC petition if the investigation is at a primary stage. The High Court, while dismissing the petition further observed in paragraph 7 of the impugned order : "Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed. Regarding the High Court's approach, the Supreme Court said, "Perhaps, the High Court was of the view that the investigation cannot be interfered with at "an infancy stage". "There is no absolute rule that even if the investigation is at a preliminary stage, the Court exercising jurisdiction under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 cannot interfere."
