Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) in India deals with the inherent powers of the High Court to make orders necessary to give effect to any order under this code or to prevent abuse of the process of any court. 

It is a provision that grants the High Court the authority to exercise its inherent powers in cases not covered by specific provisions of the CrPC or any other law. These powers can be used for various purposes, including quashing of criminal proceedings, setting aside wrongful orders, and ensuring justice is served. The specific circumstances in which Section 482 can be invoked will depend on the facts and circumstances of each case and the discretion of the High Court.

What are the powers of the High Court under Section 482?
The High Court under Section 482 has the power to quash an FIR even after filing of Charge Sheet by the prosecution. The parties can also reach a modus vivendi case.
