It reasoned that its inherent powers under the BNSS (or CrPC) could be invoked only after the magistrate had passed an order in proceedings under the DV Act and not while those proceedings were still underway. In other words, the Court held that as long as the case remained pending before the magistrate, it could not step in to exercise its extraordinary jurisdiction.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">It observed that, <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><em>&ldquo;as long as the proceedings are continuing before the magistrate and no final order has been passed, the inherent power under Section 482 CrPC cannot be invoked.&rdquo;<\/em><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"> On that basis, the petition was dismissed as not maintainable.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The Supreme Court disagreed with this interpretation and overturned the High Court&rsquo;s order. It held that a petition filed under Section 528 of the BNSS to quash proceedings under Section 12(1) of the DV Act is maintainable at any stage even while the matter is pending before the magistrate.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Through this ruling, the Court made it clear that parties do not need to wait for an order to be passed under the DV Act before approaching the High Court. The inherent powers of the High Court can be invoked at any stage to prevent misuse of the legal process or to address potential injustice. This interpretation safeguards litigants from being left without a remedy merely because their case is still pending before the magistrate.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">To reinforce its reasoning, the bench referred to its earlier landmark decision in<\/span><\/span> <span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong><em>Shaurabh Kumar Tripathi vs Vidhi Rawal (2025)<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">. In that judgment, the Supreme Court had categorically affirmed that petitions challenging proceedings under Section 12(1) of the DV Act are maintainable under the inherent powers of the High Court.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Referring to that precedent, the bench noted that the legal position is well settled <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><em>&ldquo;wherein it was opined that a petition under Section 482 of the CrPC challenging proceedings emanating from Section 12(1) of the DV Act is maintainable.&rdquo;<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Consequently, the Supreme Court found that the Madhya Pradesh High Court&rsquo;s view could not stand. The bench observed:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-right:30pt; text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><em>&ldquo;In view of the aforesaid judgment of this Court, the view expressed by the High Court holding the quashing to be not maintainable, cannot be legally sustained.&rdquo;<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Accordingly, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court&rsquo;s order and remitted the case for fresh consideration on its merits. The parties were directed to appear before the High Court on November 11, 2025.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <hr \/>\n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"color:#212529\"><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\"><strong>Case Title: <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/api.sci.gov.in\/supremecourt\/2025\/31378\/31378_2025_13_18_65182_Order_28-Oct-2025.pdf\" style=\"text-decoration-line:none\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"color:#1155cc\"><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\"><strong>VKrishnamma &amp; Ors Vs Garima Bais<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court of India recently delivered an important judgment clarifying the procedural law under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 (DV Act).
