Sec 147 of NI actr

N0 JAIL- PAY RS.8000/- THROUGH D.D ALONG WITH MEMO OF APPEARANCE THROUGH AN ADVOCATE EXPLAINING THE DIFFICULTY TO MEET THE NOTICE OBLIGATION U/S 138

Since it is a compoundable offence, I amsure the court will show leniency as per the suggestions given by Shri.Reddy.

Offence is already commited by not paying the amount after receipt of notice. Hence if court permit you to compound the offence ,then can settle the case with the complainant. But it is not your right.

My sincere thanks to all of you for your honest reply.

ISSUE IS VERY SIMPLE AND SMALL, NO JFMC GO FOR TRAIL RATHER DISPOSAL. PLS BE INTOUCH WITH GOOD ADVOCATE.

NI ACT 138 BAILABLE, COMPOUNDABLE AT ANY STAGE OR AT SLP ALSO WITH PENALITY&FINE

PLS PRODUCE THE BELOW JUDGMENT OF SC

Yes sir , many people get confused whether the case under NI 138 is compundable or not. Yes as per above citation it is compoundable at any stage.

Mr reddy you have done valuable work by digging out important case laws for NI 138 but now one gray area is that once the process is issued no remedy at trial level against the trial stage than going through the rigours of the lengthy process.WHAT CAN BE DONE TO DEFINE AND SOLVE IT SINCE HC IS EXPENSIVE AND LIMTED SCOPE. AND IN RECENT KERALA HC CASE EVEN THE SC HAS OVERULED THE SIMPLIFIED PROCEDURE LAID DOWN BY KERALA SC. SEE THE ATTACHED CITATION.

TGN KUMAR CASE IS A BIG REMEDY FOR 138 ACCUSED PERSONS U/S 205 CR.P.C
