In series of judgements it is decided that offence u/s 138 of N.IAct  is a compoundable.Even at appeal stage compromise is possible.Now section 147 or 148 is self explanatory

As per legal view received from somebody, The High Court of Punjab & Haryana has advanced DIRECTIVES to the lower courts, that if the amount involved in the case pertaining to criminal complaint u/s 138 of N.I.Act, 1881, is less than or equal to 20000/- Rs, the court will declare the accused to be CONVICT, if he agrees to discharge the amount involved in the Cheque (which went dishonour), and will grant him PROBATION for a period ranging from 1-3 years, (as the case may be), and the court will itself arrive at CONCLUSION i.e. SUO  MOTO  COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE PARTIES.  - CAN THE DIRECTIVE FORCE THE CRIMINAL COMPLAINT TO BE ADJUDICATED BY VIRTUE OF SUE MOTO COMPROMISE TO BE ARRIVED AT BETWEEN THE ACCUSED AND COMPLAINANT BY THE COURT. - URGENT REPLY REQUIRED.  

POINT TO BE NOTED :-

COMPLAINANT DOES NOT WANT TO WITHDRAW THE CASE AND WANT TO TEACH THE ACCUSED A LESSON IN THE ABOVE CASE TO. 

 I have never heard such directives. No court can force either party to the proceeding to withdraw. The court can only sugest compromise but cannot force. As far as my knowledge is concerned there are no such directives. 

Sir, do u have any citations to support ur claim (please quote the relevant textual matter,and recent supreme court citation on this matter, immediately, urgent reply NEEDED).

Mr Sameer are we not putting cart before the horse!

You say there is some directives as per legal view received from somebody. Why don't you ask that somebody to give you a copy of the directive? and attach the same in this post so others can benefit or examine its legal validity.

As for as latest decisions of Apex court under s. 147

R. Rajeshwari Vs H.N. Jagadish IV (2008) BC 6 (SC)

Vinay Devanna Nayak Vs. Ryot Seva Sahakari Bank Ltd. (2008) 2 SCC 305

Sir as per the AFFIRMATION received from a very eminent lawyer, possibility of such DIRECTIVES can not b ruled out, although we are here to discuss legal views about the matter pertaining to the criminal complaint u/s 138 N.I.Act, 1881. It is not a matter to be argued upon, but to understand and examine the VALIDIT

Y thereof. And I am not STRIKING BOWS IN THE SKY, but confirming from u  whether such directives exist or not, as simple as that, any way thank u sir for ur advise.
