It is always after commission of crime.... therefore sympathetic view may be taken by court while pronouncement of judgment but this is not a ground for acquittal..
However matter may be compromised if mutually agreed....

No,accused can not be absolved on the ground that he has paid the cheque amount in recovery suit.Court can consider this ground on the point of punishment.

Payment of money does not absolve him from offence committed under 138 NI Act.

If you have paid the consideration amount based on a memo of compromise to withdraw all the pending cases, you can get discharged, by producing this memo.
