THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA Crl.M.P.No.620 of 2011 & CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.416 of 2011 JUDGMENT: This revision is directed against the judgment dated 1.12.2010 made in Crl.A No.158 of 2006 by the IV Additional District & Sessions Judge, Visakhapatnam, confirming the conviction and sentence imposed in C.C.No.566 of 2004 by the II Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Visakhapatnam, vide order dated 12.12.2006. When this matter has come up for hearing, the learned Counsel for the petitioner stated that both the parties compromised the matter and in pursuance of the same, the petitioner paid the entire amount and therefore, the offence may be compounded. Both the parties are present before this Court and filed Crl.M.P.620 of 2011 seeking to compound the offence in question. When the complainant was questioned, he stated that he received the entire cheque amount. In view of the compromise between the parties and the payment of the amount to the complainant and in view of the fact that the offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments is compoundable, this Court is of the view that the conviction and the sentence imposed by the Courts below can be set aside. Accordingly, the Crl.M.P.No.620 of 2011 is ordered and the Criminal Revision Case is allowed setting aside the conviction and sentence imposed by the Courts below. _____________________________ JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA 8th March 2011 Nn THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.416 of 2011 8.3.2011
