State Gujarat and others, (2017) 9 SCC 641, Hon'ble The Supreme Court held that, as distinguished from serious offences, there may be criminal cases which have an overwhelming or

predominant element of a civil dispute. They stand on a distinct footing insofar as the exercise of the inherent power to quash is concerned. In exercise of the wide and plentitude inherent power under Section 482 CrPC, to secure the ends of justice, or to prevent an abuse of the process of any Court, a criminal proceeding or complaint should be quashed.
