Both criminal revision petitions disposed of on the parties' joint memos recording full-and-final settlements (Rs.3,12,500/- in Crl.R.P.No.1230/2024 and Rs.2,97,500/- in Crl.R.P.No.1229/2024); respondent permitted to withdraw the sums deposited before the Trial Court; balance amounts payable by staged demand drafts (Rs.75,000/- by 20.08.2026 and Rs.70,000/- by 20.10.2026 in Crl.R.P.No.1230/2024; Rs.75,000/- paid in Court on the order date and Rs.70,000/- by 20.09.2026 in Crl.R.P.No.1229/2024); on default the respondent may proceed as per the Trial Court judgment; petitioner to pay the Trial-Court-ordered fine of Rs.5,000/- in each case within two weeks and produce the receipt before the registry within a week thereafter.

Issue for consideration

Ratio / Principle

In Crl.R.P.No.1230/2024, on the parties' joint memo, petitioner/accused agreed to pay a total sum of Rs.3,12,500/- to the respondent as full and final settlement.
