                 Dated this the  3rd day of March 2008


                                  O R D E R

This petition is for permission to compound an offence

under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act at the post

revision stage. The decision in Sabu George v. Home Secretary

[2007(1) KLT 982] had held that consequent to such a

composition, it is possible to invoke the powers under Section

482 Cr.P.C. But the said decision has been overruled and in the

light of the decision in Sudheerkumar v. Kunhiraman [2008(1)

KLT 168](DB), the prayer to apply the dictum in Sabu George v.

Home Secretary [2007(1) KLT 982] cannot be accepted.

2. This Criminal Miscellaneous Case is in these

circumstances dismissed.
