JUSTICE M.N. BHANDARI Mr.Rajesh Moondia, for the petitioner. Mr.Laxman Meena, PP. Mr.Sanjeev Sharma, for the respondent No.2 By the Court: By this petition, a challenge has been made to the order dated 12.03.2010 so as the order dated 09.03.2009. It is stated that in a complaint for offence under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act of 1881”) the petitioner was convicted and sentenced. On an appeal, the conviction and sentence was maintained, hence this petition. Both the parties have now compromised the matter and application as well as compromise deed has been placed on record. Learned counsel for both the parties submit that matter may be compounded pursuant to the provisions of Section 147 of the Act of 1881 as the matter has been settled by the parties, the order of conviction and sentence impugned herein may kindly be set aside. 2 I have heard learned counsel for the parties. In view of the compromise between the parties, I am inclined to accept the application and request for compounding the case pursuant to the provisions of Section 147 of Act of 1881. This is more so when similar issue was decided by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of K.Gyansagar Vs. Ganesh Gupta & Anr. reported in 2006(2) DCR 152 wherein the Hon'ble Apex Court compounded the offence at the appellate stage. In view of the aforesaid, the impugned orders herein are set aside. The revision petition is allowed accordingly. (M.N. BHANDARI),J. Preety
