Present petitioners had taken loan from respondent no.2 The Saraswat Co-op. Bank Ltd. and defaulted in repayment thereof. As the respondent no.2 was of the view that the loan was obtained on the basis of forged balance sheet by mis-representing the bank, FIR No. 124 of 2006 was registered for offence punishable under sections 465, 468, 469, 420, 120-B of IPC. During the pendency of the proceedings, the petitioners have repaid the entire amount to the satisfaction of the bank. The parties have resolved the dispute out of the Court. On account of settlement of the dispute, the parties have filed Consent Terms on record, duly signed by the parties so also their advocates. The Consent Terms are taken on record and marked as ‘X’ for identification. 2. Both the learned advocates make a joint request for disposal of the matter by quashing the criminal proceedings, as in their submission, the same would be in the interest of justice. Reliance is placed on a judgment of the Supreme Court reported in (2003) 4 (2003) 4 (2003) 4 S.C.C. page 675. S.C.C. page 675. S.C.C. page 675.

Hence this writ petition is disposed of in Consent Terms filed on record. ...
