Factual disputes cannot be gone into at the time of deciding a petition under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for brevity, ‘BNSS, 2023’). Present matter does not at all appear to be a case involving abuse of process of Court. Ends of justice also require that investigation of the FIR in question should be taken to its logical end. 2. In view thereof, there is no ground to exercise inherent powers of this Court under Section 528 of BNSS, 2023 as such powers have always to be used sparingly and in exceptional circumstances. 3. Petition is accordingly dismissed. All interim application/s, if any, stand disposed off.
