This Criminal Revision Case is filed challenging the Judgment dated 22.01.2021 passed in Crl.A.No.383 of 2018 by the learned XII Additional Sessions Judge, Guntur, confirming the Judgment dated 19.09.2018 passed in C.C.No.20 of 2017 by the learned II Additional Junior Civil Judge, Guntur.
2. Heard Mr. K. Jyothi Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioner/accused, Mr. Nara Srinivasa Rao, learned counsel for respondent No.1/de-facto complainant, and Mrs. K. Priyanka Lakshmi, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor for the State.
3. I.A.No.1 of 2026 has been filed along with a joint memo by the respondent No.1/de-facto complainant and the petitioner/accused seeking permission of this Court to record the compromise entered into between the parties in respect of the offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act.
4. I.A.No.2 of 2026 is filed by the respondent No.1/de-facto complainant seeking to set aside the Judgment and sentence dated 22.01.2021 passed in Crl.A.No.383 of 2018 by the learned XII Additional Sessions Judge, Guntur, confirming the conviction and sentence imposed by the learned II Additional
Junior Civil Judge, Guntur in C.C.No.20 of 2017 dated 19.09.2018, on the ground that the matter has been amicably settled between the parties and the complainant has no objection for acquittal of the petitioner/accused.
5. Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, the petitioner/accused and respondent No.1/de-facto complainant are present before this Court. They produced their respective Aadhaar Cards in proof of their identity and the same are placed on record. Both the learned counsel identified their respective parties in the open Court.

6. It is represented that the complainant has received the entire cheque amount in full and final settlement by way of two Demand Drafts for a sum of Rs.14,00,000/- each and that nothing remains due. The present Criminal Revision Case is filed only for the purpose of recording the compromise and to set aside the conviction and sentence imposed against the petitioner/accused.
7. Having regard to the submissions made by both parties and considering the fact that the offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act is compoundable in nature, this Court is inclined to accept the compromise entered into between the parties.
8. Accordingly, I.A.No.1 of 2026 and I.A.No.2 of 2026 are allowed. Consequently, the Criminal Revision Case is allowed in terms of the compromise entered into between the parties, subject to the condition that the petitioner/accused shall pay a sum of Rs.30,000/- (Rupees Thirty Thousand only) to the District Legal Services Authority, Guntur.
9. The Secretary, District Legal Services Authority, Guntur, is directed to utilize the said amount for the welfare of children residing in Government Homes/Government Sishu Gruhas, particularly towards purchase of essential items required during the summer season.
10. In default of payment of the aforesaid amount, this Criminal Revision Case shall stand dismissed automatically without further reference to this Court.
11. Consequently, the Judgment dated 22.01.2021 passed in Crl.A.No.383 of 2018 by the learned XII Additional Sessions Judge, Guntur, confirming the Judgment dated 19.09.2018 passed in C.C.No.20 of 2017 by the learned II Additional Junior Civil Judge, Guntur, is hereby set aside. The petitioner/accused is acquitted of the offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act.
12. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any pending, shall stand closed. __________________________________________ DR. JUSTICE VENKATA JYOTHIRMAI PRATAPA Date: 08.05.2026 KKV
