THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY Crl.R.C.M.P.No.1779 of 2009 and Crl.R.C.No.1305 of 2009 COMMON JUDGMENT: This Criminal Revision Case is directed against the Judgment dated 22.06.2009 passed in Crl. Appeal No.2 of 2005 on the file of the Family Court-cum-Addl. District and Sessions Court, Vizianagaram, whereby and whereunder the learned Judge of the Family Court dismissed the appeal confirming the conviction and sentence passed against the appellant/accused in C.C.No.369 of 2003 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Srungavarapukota. 2. When the revision case came up for admission, both parties appeared before the Court and moved Crl.R.C.M.P.No.1779 of 2009 seeking permission to compound the offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The parties are duly identified by their respective counsel. The 2nd respondent/complainant admits of his receiving Rs.30,000/- towards the cheque in question. In that view of the matter, I do not see any impediment in permitting the parties to compound the offence. Accordingly, Crl.R.C.M.P.No.1779 of 2009 is allowed. 3. In view of the offence being compounded, the conviction and sentence of the revision petitioner/accused for the offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act passed by the trial Court and confirmed by the appellate Court is set aside and he is acquitted of the same. 4. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of at the admission stage. ______________________ B.SESHASAYANA REDDY, J. Date:05th August, 2009. cs
