Judegement
The appellate court allowed the criminal appeal and set aside the trial court's conviction of Madhuben Khodabhai Chauhan under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, based on a compromise reached between the parties. The court held that while the compromise was filed at the appellate stage rather than trial stage, Section 147 of the Negotiable Instruments Act permits compounding even at appeal, and following Supreme Court guidelines, the accused was required to pay 15% of the cheque amount (Rs. 15,000) as costs to the Legal Services Authority for the compromise to be recorded, resulting in her acquittal.
