    The 5th Additional Sessions Judge, Rajkot, allowed the criminal appeal and set aside the conviction and sentence passed by the lower court under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The court permitted compounding of the offense after the appellant and complainant voluntarily settled their dispute through Lok Adalat, with the appellant paying all dues to the complainant, citing that Section 138 offenses can be compounded at any stage of trial when parties mutually agree.
