Pray for referring the matter for mediation in Supreme Court.

The decision has reached finality. But it is seldom that long sentence is awarded in a NI 138 case. The general norm is imprisonment till the raising of the court. Please verify.

A Review is never an effective remedy.

You had said its a Family dispute . Better seek an amicable compromise with the concerned relatives and seek the possibilities of withdrawal of suit by entering in to compromise.. Normally the Review petitions would come before the Same judges and the Results will have No Guarantee to be on your side.

You could have arrived at the compromise what you talk now very long ago when the matter was running in the trial court or in an appeal in the sessions court.
You allowed the complainant to escalate the matter to high court due to egoistic issues or over confidence.
Now you are the sufferer for your own fault.
However now after the apex curt has passed an order confirming the trial court decision you have very less chance for a desired relief even in the review petition before the apex court.
