NI act 138

Accused is ready to pay the amount of cheque bounce in DD, in the first appearance after receiving Summon. Is it necessary to appear the accused physically or is it enough the pleader can take the steps on there behalf without presenting the accused. If the accused pay the entire amount after receiving the summon then is there any possibility that Court impose any penalty or cost kindly provide me case reference in this regard regards

138 is punishable section.  Complainant's presence is must to file memo that it is settled out of court so case is withdrawn.

If you paid the DD in the court inspite of receipt of the DD complainant can proceed with the case, if not court wont levy any penalty on the accused.
