O R D E R
This revision petition has been filed challenging the conviction and sentence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act .
2. The revision petitioner is the accused and the first respondent is the defacto complainant before this Court.
3. The petitioner was convicted and sentenced by the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-I, Manjeri (for short ‘the trial court’) in S.T. No.772/2013 for the offence punishable under Section 138 of the NI Act. The appeal preferred by the petitioner before the Additional Sessions Court-II, Manjeri as Crl.A. No.35/2015 was dismissed, confirming the conviction and sentence.
3. Now Crl.M.A. No.1/2025 has been filed by the petitioner and the first respondent to compound the offence. I am satisfied that the composition is voluntary. It is submitted by the first respondent that the entire amount has been received. Hence, Crl.M.A No.1/2025 stands allowed and the offence stands compounded. In view of the composition, the impugned conviction and sentence are set aside.
