                        O R D E R

Revision petitioner is the accused in ST.No.95/2006 on

the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class-II,

Thodupuzha. The first respondent herein prosecuted the

revision petitioner alleging offence under Section 138 of the

Negotiable Instruments Act. The learned Magistrate after

due trial found the revision petitioner guilty. Consequently

she was convicted and sentenced to simple imprisonment

for one month and directed to pay Rs.70,000/- as

compensation to the first respondent. Crl.Appeal

No.12/2007 preferred by the revision petitioner was

dismissed. Assailing the above conviction and sentence as

confirmed in appeal, this revision petition was filed.

2. Now the revision petitioner and the first

respondent have settled the matter out of court and filed a

Crl.R.P.No.4159 of 2007.

-: 2 :-

joint petition as Crl.M.A.No.9231/2009 seeking permission

to compound the offence.

3. Having heard either side, I find no reason to

reject the petition. Hence, the petition Crl.M.A. No.

9231/2009 is recorded and the revision petitioner is

acquitted under Section 147 of the Negotiable Instruments

Act read with Sec.320(8) of the Code of Criminal Procedure

and set at liberty.

Criminal Revision Petition is disposed of as above.

P.S.GOPINATHAN, JUDGE.
