Judegement
The appellate court allowed the criminal appeal and set aside the conviction of Kiritkumar Khodabhai Chauhan under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, after the parties compromised the cheque dishonor dispute out of court. The court ruled that Section 147 of the Negotiable Instruments Act permits compounding of offenses even at the appellate stage, and following Supreme Court guidelines, allowed the compromise upon payment of 15% of the cheque amount (Rs. 15,000) as costs to the District Legal Services Authority.
