The High Court of Punjab and Haryana set aside Kuldeep Singh's conviction under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act and acquitted him after the parties reached a settlement deed dated 20.11.2025 through court-mandated mediation. The court recognized that cheque dishonor offenses have a compensatory rather than purely punitive character and allowed compounding under Section 147 of the Act, waiving the 15% litigation costs given the petitioner's financial hardship. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
