What is this about?
This single bench order addressed a pending warrant against a petitioner convicted under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The petitioner paid the compensation amount to the complainant but failed to surrender for imprisonment on the fixed date of record. The court allowed the parties to appear on a future date to file the receipt and affidavit, deeming this due compliance.
What did the court decide?
The petitioner was directed to appear before the Magistrate on 16/11/2011 to file the receipt and affidavit of payment, which would be treated as compliance with the earlier order for imprisonment.
