High Court’s inherent power to quash criminal proceedings precludes conducting a ‘mini trial’ by assessing evidence credibility; consistency requires acknowledging coordinate bench decisions involving co-accused. Quashing FIR under 482 CrPC impermissible when complaint prima facie discloses cognizable offences; allegations accepted true, investigation not thwarted based on delay, civil suit, or witness status if complicity alleged. Appointment secured on merit cannot be invalidated for an unintentional category error in a qualifying certificate if no undue advantage accrued therefrom. Under Sections 34/37 of Arbitration Act, 1996, courts lack power to modify awards but can set aside, partially set aside (sever) severable parts, or correct computational/clerical errors. Courts must strictly enforce building laws, order demolition of unauthorized structures, and refuse regularization pleas from violators, upholding the rule of law.
