The first respondent prosecuted him alleging offence under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The learned Magistrate after due trial found the revision petitioner guilty. Consequently he was convicted and sentenced to simple imprisonment for 1 year and directed to pay Rs.25,000/- as compensation to the first respondent. Though he preferred Crl.Appeal No.641 of 2006 he was not successful. Assailing the above conviction and sentence as confirmed in appeal, this revision petition was filed. 2. The revision petitioner along with first respondent now settled the matter and filed Crl.M.Appl.No.9135 of 2009 seeking sanction to compound the offence. Having heard either side and the learned public prosecutor I find no reason to reject the same. Hence, Crl.M.Appln.No.9135 of 2009 is recorded.
