Shankar Kanjibhai Parmar vs Bimabhai Vikrambhai Bokhiriya Advocate - P R APARNATHI — 172/2025

The court set aside the conviction and one-year sentence imposed under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act, following a compromise settlement reached between the appellant and complainant at the National Lok Adalat. The court relied on Supreme Court precedent establishing that Section 138 cases are primarily compensatory in nature and that compounding at later stages is permissible when appropriate compensation is agreed upon by both parties.
