This is a compoundable offence and once the accused has given  the amount back he is discharged from criminal libility and no further suit will be permitted by law to be intituted for the same cheque.

payment by itself does not exonerate him from liability under s.138 unless the other party is also willing to withdraw the complaint. In that event, the concerned court has the discretion to dispose of the case. Hence such payment does not ipso facto discharge the accused automatically.

I would just like to answer the query in specifc after reading ur PM. The question above asked gives the impression that as the amount is paid in the Court the opposite party has accepted the same. But ur PM made it clear to me that the opposite party is in no mood to compromise, So I would have to modify my advice by agreeing with Radha Pyari Madam. The Offence will be compounded provided the opposite party agrees to ur amount.
