Scope of section 482 of criminal procedure code.

Section 482. States the Saving of inherent power of High Court as

Nothing in this Code shall be deemed to limit or affect the inherent powers of the High Court to make such orders as may be necessary to give effect to any order this Code, or to prevent abuse of the process of any court or otherwise to secure the ends of justice.

Can this section be used to file revision for murder case which are acquitted and there is a long delay.

Not as revision but as to prevent abuse of the process of any court or otherwise to secure the ends of justice.

I agree that to secure end of jutice, use by application under sec 482. to Highcourt.

An appeal on behalf of the de-facto complainant can be filed. There is no need of S 482.

Sec. 482 crpc provides some exceptional powers to High Courts which can be invoked only under exceptional circumstances. For appeal & revision crpc provides separate legal provisions. So revision can only be filed under the specific provision of sec.397 r/w sec.401 crpc. It is highly unlikely that high court will allow it u/sec.482.
