                   ----------------------------------------
                      Crl.R.P.No.3923 of 2009
                   ----------------------------------------
            Dated this the 21st day of December, 2009

                                  ORDER

The revision petitioner was convicted by the Judicial

Magistrate of the First Class-III, Kollam in S.T.No.84 of 2006 for

offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act and

sentenced to simple imprisonment for six months with order to pay

Rs.55,000/- as compensation. In Criminal Appeal No.277 of 2007 the

conviction and sentence were confirmed.

2. Now, the revision petitioner along with the first

respondent settled the matter out of court and filed

Crl.M.Appl.No.12335 of 2009 seeking an order to record

compounding. Having heard either side, I find no reason to reject the

petition. Hence the petition Crl.M.Appl.No.12335 of 2009 is recorded

and the revision petitioner would stand acquitted under Section 147

of the Negotiable Instruments Act read with Section 320(8) of the

Code of Criminal Procedure and is set at liberty.

Revision petition is disposed as above.

P.S.GOPINATHAN, JUDGE
