The Supreme Court of India has delivered a significant judgment clarifying the relationship between procedural remedies and inherent judicial powers. The Court held that the availability of an alternative remedy under Section 397 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) cannot alone be a valid reason to dismiss an application filed under Section 482 CrPC.
Section 398 CrPC | Availability of Alternative Remedy of Criminal Revision by Itself, Cannot Be a Ground to Dismiss an Application under Section 482 CrPC: SC
