This query is : Resolved
Section 147 was inserted by way of an amendment to a special law, the same will override the effect of Section 320(9) of the Cr.P.C., especially keeping in mind that Section 147 carries a non- obstante clause...ā€¯
Hence, it is held that the Court where finds that payment of cheque has been paid to the complainant or amount is deposited in the Court for disbursal to the complainant in consonance with the guidelines and parameters enumerated in Damodar S. Prabhu's case (supra), the
Court, in the facts and circumstances of the case, can quash the complaint and subsequent proceedings without the consent of the complainant under Section 147 of the 1881 Act. To emphasize this, the
Code of Criminal Procedure, in the table specified in Section 320 Cr.P.C, in column No.3, mentions the person who can compound the offence, whereas there is no such requirement under Section 147 of the
1881 Act.
Please go through the Punjab & Haryana high court Criminal Misc. No. M-22336 of 2008 Date of Decision: 14.10.2010

okay but what is your query???????
I have read this judgement which should not be understood by an accused that in every case section 147
N.I.Act would be invoked by court in his favor without looking upon his through out conduct beginning from the date of notice of demand served upon him.It is not a blanket an accused can use as and when he feels cold.

It seems the author of the question intended to share an important judgment with the experts.
