Compounding of a cheque-dishonour offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act was permitted even after conviction because the petitioner had entered into a post-conviction settlement and paid the entire compensation, with the complainant raising no objection.

The conviction and sentence were accordingly recalled, the offence was compounded, and the petitioner was acquitted.
