This revision is in challenge of judgment of learned
Additional District & Sessions Judge (Adhoc-I), Kottayam in Crl. Appeal
No.638 of 2007 confirming conviction and sentence for offence
punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act (for
short, “the Act”).
2. Petitioner and respondent No.2 filed Crl.M.A No.6000 of
2009 reporting settlement and seeking permission to compound the
offence.
3. It is seen from application No.6000 of 2009 that parties
have settled the dispute out of court. There is no reason to think that
the composition is not voluntary. Offence under Section 138 of the Act
is made compoundable under Section 147 of the Act. Hence
permission is granted and Crl.M.A. No.6000 of 2009 is allowed. The
composition entered between petitioner and respondent No.2 is
accepted and that shall have the effect of acquittal of the petitioner
under Section 320(8) of Code of Criminal Procedure.
Criminal Revision Petition is disposed of as above.
THOMAS P.JOSEPH, JUDGE.
