No. there is no scope of appeal in the lights of the facts of ur case. Liability has already been accepted, hence it is fatal for accused.

NI act is compoundable offence. In this case liability is admitted. Accused has no chance of success.

Sec 138 is a compoundable offence, after compromise there is no chance in appeal.

I endorse the views of experts and reiterate that once the offence is compounded, there is no scope for appeal againist the same unless there is proven case a fraud involved therein.

In continuation of the same, here Accused had preferred an Appeal. Further, on the date of compromise, the Accused Advocate voluntarily stood absent. judgment was passed in terms of compromise thereby allowing the Accused to make payment in two installments. on the date of payment of 1st Installment, Accused advocate took adjournment. Now another advocate had preferred an appeal.
