ORDER

The court allowed the criminal appeal and set aside the conviction and sentence order against the appellant under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The court found that the parties had reached a settlement, the complainant received full payment of the cheque amount, and under Section 147 of the NI Act (which makes offences compoundable), the offense could be withdrawn even at the appellate stage, warranting acquittal of the appellant. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
