MAHOMMADSAJID NAJIRAHMAD JUNAKIYA vs Government of Gujarat Advocate - D H CHAPIYA — 336/2025

Summary The court allowed a criminal appeal under Section 320 CrPC and Section 147 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, accepting mutual settlement between parties in a cheque bounce case (Section 138 NI Act). The court set aside the conviction and sentence imposed by the trial court, holding that once both parties have settled their dispute and the complainant has received full payment, the offense becomes compoundable even at the appellate stage, and the accused should be acquitted and released from liability.
