Dr. G. Balakrishanan,

I respectfully differ with you as provisions of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 and Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 are applicable in a complaint case u/s 138 of the N I Act, which is a quasi criminal case, but not Section 89 (or any other) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (as amended).

However, on request of both the parties the matter can (discritionary) be referred for mediation.

Besides this, consequent upon Amendment Act (2016) incorporated in Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 it has been included in Section 320 Cr PC for compounding.
