The word not with standing has not been used as under section 482 cr.p.c. The purpose of inherent powers is primarily to do complete justice in the given case. There may be a situation of (Non-Liquet) where the Cr.P.C is silent upon a particular issue, inherent powers of the High Court will come into picture and take care of the particular situation to do complete justice. Perhaps the High Court have to be very careful in exercising this power, because this power is only to be exercised as an exception and no as a rule of law and to be exercised sparingly i.e. with due care and caution to do the real and substantial justice.

Why only high court
Cr. P.c. relates to criminal matters and its proceedings effect the right to life and personal liberty and therefore as a matter of policy that inherent power should remail only in the superior courts which are more experienced and hence such powers has been conferred in the high courts only.

Meaning
Inherent powers refer to the discretionary powers possessed by high court, to ensure the justice and maintain the law and order. Inherent powers exists per se so they cannot be created, these powers are not explicitly conferred by statutes but are implied or inherent in the very nature of the court's judicial authority. In the context of section 482 of the criminal procedure code (cr.p.c) in India, it grants the high court the inherent power to quash criminal proceedings if necessary to secure the ends of justice, to prevent the misuse of the process of the court or to pass order to give effect to the earlier order

Does judicial magistrate or court of session has no inherent power

In the case of " Sakiri Vasu v/s State Of UP (2007) S.C, it was held that magistrate do not have inherent powers as such. As that has been retained only for high courts. However the magistrate do not have the implied incidental or ancillary power to pass further order in order to make earlier order effective.

Magistrate do have the power to monitor and investigate. Here the word monitor cannot be used in literal sense. As the judicial magistrate cannot go into day-to-day investigation proceeding. Investigation is a prerogative of police officer and hence unnecessary interface cannot be done by magistrate. Magistrate can at the most keep an eye upon the investigation to ensure the justice.
