1. Sri Dileep Kumar, learned counsel for the applicant on instructions submits that though the application has been preferred to quash the impugned summoning order dated 05.03.2024 issued by learned Additional Civil Judge (J.D.)/ Court No.4, Jhansi, in Complaint Case No. 12657 of 2022, (Sriram Transport Vs. Yakub Ali) under sections 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act, Police Station- Nawabad, District- Jhansi however, he confines his relief for compounding under Section 147 of the N.I. Act in view of the judgement in Damodar S Prabhu Vs Sayed Babalal reported in AIR 2010 SC 1907.
2. Learned A.G.A. has no objection to the same.
3. Considering the submissions raised at the Bar, the application stands disposed of granting liberty to the applicant to prefer appropriate proceeding for compounding under Section 147 of N.I. Act and in case such proceeding is preferred before the court concerned, then this Court has no reason to disbelieve that the same shall be decided with most expedition strictly in terms of the
judgment passed in Damodar S Prabhu (supra).
