CASE SUMMARY: Crl.A. No. 002454/2026 Brij Kishore v. Gouri Shanker (MRAT) Dwara Smt Jaijuvar The Supreme Court allowed Brij Kishore's appeal and set aside his conviction and fine under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Kishore had been convicted by trial court to one year imprisonment plus ₹65,000 fine; this was affirmed by Sessions Court and High Court revision. However, Kishore had settled the matter with the complainant by paying ₹1,00,000, which the High Court acknowledged but refused to record due to Kishore's non-compliance with procedural Rule 48 requiring surrender before jail. The Supreme Court held that insisting on procedural surrender before recording a settlement was unreasonable and allowed the appeal, setting aside the conviction entirely.
