One case when it might be acceptable to overrule a PR check is reverting a commit. Before the branch protection was enabled, a committer could revert a commit without a PR. Now that PRs are mandatory, we have to wait for the checks to run in order to revert a commit. Usually we are reverting a commit because it's causing problems, so I think overruling the PR checks may be acceptable in that case.
