It was further directed that, out of the total amount of fine, Rs. 9 lakhs be disbursed to the complainant as compensation under Section 357(1) Cr.P.C.

Veer Singh .....Revisionist(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s) appeared before the learned Trial Court, which endorsed the said compromise by passing the order dated 27.07.2026. A copy of the said order has been placed on record by way of supplementary affidavit, which shows that, in terms of the compromise, the convict paid a sum of Rs.5 lakhs to opposite party No.2/complainant, which she received, and her statement in this regard was also recorded. It is, therefore, submitted that since both parties have settled their dispute by entering into a compromise, the orders passed by the learned Trial Court as well as the learned Appellate Court be set aside in terms of the compromise. 5. Learned Counsel for opposite party No.2 has admitted that both the parties have entered into compromise and opposite party No.2/complainant has received the amount. She now has no grievance against the revisionist and has no objection if the judgments and orders of the learned Trial Court as well as the Appellate Court are set aside. 6. In view of the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the parties and the compromise entered into between the revisionist and opposite party No. 2, the present revision is allowed. The impugned judgments and orders passed by the Trial Court and the Appellate Court are hereby set aside. Consequently, the conviction of the revisionist under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act is also set aside, and the revisionist is acquitted of the said offence. 7. Let a copy of this order be sent to the Trial Court concerned for necessary compliance. September 23, 2026 Amit CRLR No. 5539 of 2026 2 (Sanjiv Kumar,J.)
