Case Number Parties Short Description 1 Criminal Appeal(H) 8333/2018 অনুবাদ (Google) Uploaded on : 29-SEP-19 From : Annex Building Court No. 25 Md. Jony Chowdhury Vs. The State and another The Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 (shortly N.I. Act) is silent about compromise of offences under the Act. But the Act does not make any provision therein prohibiting such compromise. Be that as it may, since N.I. Act proceeding arises out of monetary transaction and the proceeding is a quasi civil and quasi criminal in nature and maximum sentence under the law is one year inasmuch as that our criminal administration encourages compromise at any stage of the proceeding as well as at appellate and revisional stage, I am of the view that the dispute between the parties in N.I Act proceeding may be resolved out of Court by the parties on compromise and the same should be allowed by the Court at any stage of the proceeding even at appellate and revisional stage. 2 Criminal Revision 2487/2019 অনুবাদ (Google) Uploaded on : 26-SEP-19 From : Annex Building Court No. 25 Md.
