O R D E R This revision petition is in challenge of judgment of learned Addl. Sessions Judge-I, Kollam in Crl.Appeal No.122/2007 confirming conviction of petitioner for offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act (for short, “the Act”) but modifying the sentence. Now the petitioner and respondent No.1 have settled the case outside court and filed Crl.M.A.No.4556/2010 reporting settlement and seeking permission to compound the offence. The offence under Section 138 of the Act is made compoundable by under Section 147 of that Act. I heard counsel on both sides. It is seen that composition is voluntarily. Hence Crl.M.A.4556/2010 is allowed and composition is recorded. 2 Resultantly composition entered between petitioner and respondent No.1 is accepted and that shall have the effect of acquittal of petitioner under Section 320(8) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Revision petition is disposed of accordingly. The non bailable warrant issued against the petitioner, in the light of the above order will stand quashed. THOMAS P JOSEPH,JUDGE. pm
