Appeal No.7/2006 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.P.No. 5833/2009 reporting settlement and seeking permission to compound the offence. 3. It is seen from application No.5833/2009 that parties have settled the dispute out of court. There is no reason to think that 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.P.5833/2009 is allowed. Composition entered between the petitioner and respondent No.2 is accepted and that shall have 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 Acd
