The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973  - Section 482

Criminal proceedings may be quashed on following grounds -(1) Where the allegations made in the complaint no case against the accused or the essential does not disclose the essential ingredients of an offence which alleged against the accused. (2) Where the allegations made in the complaint are patently absurd and inherently improbable so that no prudent person can ever reach a conclusion that there is sufficient ground for proceeding against the accused. (3) Where the discretion exercised by the Magistrate in issuing process is capricious and arbitrary having been based either or no evidence or on materials which are wholly irrelevant or inadmissible. (4) Where the complaint suffers from fundamental legal defects, such as, want of sanction or absence of a complainant by legally competent authority and the like. These cases are purely illustrative and provide sufficient guidelines to indicate contingencies where the High Court can quash proceedings.
