Dishonour of cheque cases can be quashed by High Courts u/s 482 CrPC if unimpeachable material shows no offence. Supreme Court held proceedings shouldn't be scuttled at nascent stage based on prima facie impression. In a case where cheques were security deposit, Supreme Court ruled Section 138 covers cheques for "other liability" besides debt. Legal presumption and contested facts shouldn't be separated under inherent powers. Power to quash should be exercised sparingly. Petitioner raised mixed questions of fact and law, not examinable u/s 482 CrPC, desirable to leave for trial court adjudication based on evidence. Petition dismissed.
