    Case Summary: Criminal Appeal No. 171/2025 The court set aside the conviction and sentence of appellant Jamnaben Devjibhai Sukhdiya under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act (one year imprisonment and Rs.10,00,000 compensation) after the parties reached an out-of-court settlement. The appellant agreed to pay Rs.1,65,917 already deposited plus Rs.10,34,083 within 10 months, with her mortgaged shop to be returned upon full payment. The court disposed of the appeal based on the compromise, noting that Section 138's primary objective is compensatory rather than punitive, and settlement can be encouraged even at appellate stages with appropriate compensation.
