As per case facts, a brutal honour killing of a Scheduled Caste engineer led to a final report against the petitioner (A3), a suspended police officer. The Trial Court issued
...a Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW) against A3 without summons, despite her non-arrest during investigation. The petitioner appealed to the High Court seeking a direction for immediate consideration of her recall warrant application upon surrender, arguing the NBW was mechanically issued. The question arose whether the inherent power under Section 528 BNSS should be exercised to direct the Trial Court to consider the recall application "on the same day" in this heinous murder case under the SC/ST (PoA) Act. Finally, the High Court dismissed the petition, stating that inherent jurisdiction cannot be used to micro-manage judicial processes or create a parallel appellate mechanism when an efficacious remedy exists. The Court emphasized that the Trial Court is competent to handle recall applications fairly and that the petitioner is at liberty to surrender and seek relief in accordance with law.
