The request for refund of the amount deposited at the time of admission of the appeal also failed. The Court further reiterated that revisional jurisdiction under Sections 397, 401 and 482 CrPC is narrow and cannot be exercised like an appeal unless the impugned order is perverse, illegal, or patently erroneous. No such infirmity was found in the revisional order, so interference was declined. en-us Fri, 10 Dec 2021 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 15 Dec 2021 09:26:33 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=415809 After compounding of a Section 138 offence under the Negotiable Instruments Act through mediation, the sentence ceased to have a legal basis and compensation under Section 357(3) CrPC was not maintainable because that provision applies only where a sentence is imposed.
