    Case Summary: CRR/718/2020 - Jasvir Kaur v. Ghansham Dass The High Court of Punjab & Haryana set aside Jasvir Kaur's conviction and 2-year rigorous imprisonment sentence for cheque dishonour under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act after the parties reached a settlement agreement for Rs. 4 lakh, which was paid in full. Invoking Section 147 of the NI Act—which makes all offences under the Act compoundable—the court allowed compounding at the revision stage, holding that courts should be liberal in exercising such powers when parties voluntarily compromise, as cheque dishonour offences are fundamentally civil wrongs rather than purely criminal matters. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
