THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.693 of 2011 JUDGMENT: This revision is directed against the judgment dated 8.11.2010 made in Crl.A.No.104 of 2007 by the Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge, L.B. Nagar. Basing on the complaint filed by the 1st respondent herein, the petitioner was tried by the II Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, in C.C.No.838 of 2005 for the offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. After full-fledged trial, the trial Court came to the conclusion that the petitioner is guilty of the offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act and sentenced her to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of six months and to pay compensation of Rs.50,000/- to the complainant. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed an appeal in Crl.A.No.104 of 2007 before the Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Cyberabad, NTR Nagar, Hyderabad. The learned Metropolitan Sessions Judge confirmed the judgment of the trial Court. The same is questioned in this revision. When this matter has come up for hearing, both the parties are present. When the complainant was questioned, he stated that he received an amount of Rs.70,000/- and he has no objection if the offence is compounded. It appears that the cheque amount is Rs.50,000/-. It is stated by the complainant that he received Rs.70,000/-. In view of the payment of the cheque amount as stated by the complainant and in view of the fact that the offence under Section 138 of the N.I. Act is compoundable, I feel that the conviction and the sentence imposed by the Courts below against the petitioner-accused can be set aside. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is allowed and the judgments of the trial Court and the appellate Court are hereby set aside. _______________________________ JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA 6th April 2011 Nn THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.693 of 2011 6.4.2011
