2015 (9) TMI 1722 - PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURTDishonor of Cheque - compromise has been arrived between the parties and compromise deed has been placed on record - HELD THAT:- In the present case, petitioners are facing criminal proceedings qua commission of offence punishable under Section 174-A IPC. It is the case of the petitioners that they had not received the summons qua the criminal complaint under Section 138 of the Act pending against them. The moment petitioners came to know about the same, they have paid the cheque amount in question to the complainant and they have been discharged in the complaint under Section 138 of the Act. Since in the main case, petitioners have been ordered to be discharged in view of compromise effected between the parties, continuation of criminal proceedings against the petitioners under Section 174-A, IPC would be nothing but an abuse of process of law - Petition allowed.
