fine cannot be imposed equal to cheque amount.JMFC can allow compensation double amount of cheque u/s 138 of n.i.act.

Patil Sir have said right. complainant can be compensated under Section 357 Cr.P.C. where there is no limit.

Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 07 December 2009
It depends upon the trial magistrate, however, amount equal to cheque cannot be fined as this is not the suit for recovery rather a criminal trial for breaking the law of land. The holder of the cheque can file suit for recovery if he has to get the amount of the cheque in civil court.
