1. The matter comes up on application for substitution of
compromise and allowing extension of time in compliance of order
dated 27.02.2019 passed in S.B. Criminal Revision Petition
No.370/2019.
2. It is contended by counsel for the applicant/petitioner that
Rs. 50,000/- was deposited in National Defence Fund, Government
of India within four weeks of passing of the order. However, the
cheque paid to the complainant was dishonoured. Now parties
have entered into fresh compromise. Some amount has been paid
by demand draft. Cheque has already been paid to the
complainant. It is also contended by counsel for the
applicant/petitioner that applicant/petitioner has issued cheque of
Rs.14 lac for 25.05.2021 and another cheque of Rs.1,75,000/- for
(2 of 2) [CRLMA-22/2021]
15.03.2021. It is also contended that in view of fresh compromise
arrived at between the parties the order dated 27.02.2019 be
modified and the period of payment of cheque be extended and
petitioner who has been taken in custody in pursuance of the
impugned order, be set at liberty.
3. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the criminal misc.
application.
4. Counsel for the complainant has not disputed the fact of
entering into fresh compromise and has no objection to the
extension of time of payment of disputed amount.
5. I have considered the contentions.
6. In view of fact that fresh compromise has been arrived at
between the parties and also that offence under Section 138 of
the Negotiable Instruments Act is compoundable, even after
passing of the final order, this Court deems it proper to modify the
order dated 27.02.2019. The impugned judgment and order
passed by the Court below is set aside, subject to the honouring of
the cheque(s) paid by the petitioner to the complainant. However,
if the cheque(s) paid by the petitioner are dishonoured, the
judgment of the Court below would again stand revived and would
be executable.
7. In view of fresh compromise arrived at between the parties,
the time for payment of the cheque amount is extended upto
30.06.2021 and the order passed by the Court below is set aside.
8. Criminal Misc. Application is accordingly, allowed.
9. However, petitioner be set at liberty forthwith, if not wanted
in any other case.
