It is held in A.S. Pharma Pvt Ltd v. Nayati Medical Pvt Ltd [2024] GCtR 3454 (SC) that "a bare perusal of Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, and Section 147 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 would reveal they are different and distinct. The former being the inherent power of High Court exercisable even suo motu to give effect to any order under Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, or to prevent abuse of the process of any court or otherwise to secure the ends of justice."
