138 NI cases can be referred to Lok Adalat however if an option for settling the amount has already been given to the accused and if the accused has denied the same it is at the discretion of the complainant to either accept the settlement or proceed with the case. recent changes in the Negotiable Instrument Act forces the complainant to accept a compensation instead of criminal imprisonment post pronouncement of judgement.
