Complainant has not filed any appeal or revision as he has just received summon from session court to appear.

Yes but for that he will have to prefer cross appeal.

Cheque bounce law was put in haste on statue books and so it has many many loopholes.
Even conviction confirmed by High courts has been set aside by SC as law is being xrayed by defense advocates.
So be happy as suggested by other experts to collect whatever is granted by lower court.

Since no cross appeal is filed so far so in all probability the limitation is over.
There is no safe formula to win in cross appeal and other possibility revision of accused may be allowed.
Power of defense is power of darkness which is immense so all accused particularly in cheque bounce cases must use all opportunities for defense, you will surely succeed.
