When   this   revision   petition   came   up   for   hearing,   it   is<\/p>\n<p>submitted   at   the   Bar   by   counsel   for   the   rival   contestants   that   the<\/p>\n<p>matter has been settled and the offence has been compounded by the<\/p>\n<p>complainant.   A joint compromise petition  duly signed by the rival<\/p>\n<p>contestants     and  counter   signed   by  their  respective  counsel  is  also<\/p>\n<p>filed.   The learned counsel for the respondent\/complainant  vouches<\/p>\n<p>that the signature appearing in the application for composition is that<\/p>\n<p>of the complainant.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>       3.     The   offence   under   Section   138   of   the   N.I.   Act   is   now<\/p>\n<p>compoundable after the amendment to the N.I. Act.   I am satisfied,<\/p>\n<p>from the submissions made at the Bar and the joint statement filed by<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">Crl.R.P.No.  2516 of   2006                  2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>them, that the parties have settled their dispute amicably.

In the result:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>        (a)   Crl.M.A.No.    7124  of 2006 is allowed  and  the  composition  is<\/p>\n<p>accepted.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>        (b)     The   acceptance   of   the   composition   shall   have   the   effect   of<\/p>\n<p>acquittal of the accused of the offence punishable under Section 138 of the<\/p>\n<p>N.I.
