The learned Magistrate by the said judgment and order convicted the applicant herein for the offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1882 and sentenced him to undergo simple imprisonment for one year and to undergo further simple imprisonment for four months if the amount of cheque is not paid within 60 days. 3.

In the above view, it is evident that parties have settled their disputes, which was verified that the settlement was genuinely arrived to the satisfaction of both the sides. 5. Having regard to the settlement arrived at, learned advocate for the respondent No. 1-original complainant as well as learned advocate for the applicant requested the Court to compound the offence. In support of the prayer for compounding of offence, it is also stated that as per the decision of the Apex Court in Damodar S. Prabhu, 2010 (5) SCC 663 , the applicant has paid amount of Rs. 15,000/- by way of cost being 15% of the cheque amount to the State Legal Services Authorities. In fortification of the payment, receipt thereof is produced to be taken on record, which is taken on record. 6. In light of the above emerging facts since the parties have amicably settled the dispute and the amount of cheque having been paid by the applicant-original accused to the present respondent No. 1-original complainant and the complainant having received the same and other requirements having been complied with, no fruitful purpose would be served in continuing the present proceedings. Accordingly, the proceedings are required to be terminated by compounding the offence. 7.
