Summary The court allowed the criminal appeal and set aside the conviction and sentence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, finding that the parties had reached a settlement and the complainant received full payment of the cheque amount. Citing Section 147 of the NI Act and relevant Supreme Court precedents, the court held that offences under Section 138 are compoundable even at the appellate stage when parties reconcile and payment is made, and accordingly acquitted the appellant.
