CORAM: HON’BLE DR.JUSTICE SANJEEB K PANIGRAHI Order No. 10. ORDER 21.05.2026 I.A. No.1340 of 2026 1. This matter is taken taken up through hybrid arrangement. 2. This I.A. has been filed by the Opposite Party seeking modification of the order dated 14.05.2026 passed in CRLMC No.121 of 2025 and for a direction to the learned Court below to disburse the remaining cheque amount of Rs.1,02,000/-, which was deposited pursuant to the order of this Court dated 27.01.2025 passed by this Court. 3. Learned counsel for the Opposite Party submits that the present case arises out of dishonour of cheque amounting to Rs.5,10,000/-. The matter was referred to mediation in terms of order of this Court. As per the Digitally Signed Signed by: SIPUN BEHERA Reason: Authentication Location: HIGH COURT OF ORISSA, CUTTACK Date: 22-May-2026 10:54:10 Signature Not Verified mediation report, the dispute between the parties has been amicably settled subject to payment of the cheque amount to the Opposite Party. It is further submitted that the Opposite Party has received payments in different phases, however, an amount of Rs.1,02,000/- remains to be disbursed in terms of the settlement. 4. It is further submitted that as per the settlement arrived at between the parties before the Mediation Centre, the dispute stood concluded on 14.05.2026. 5. Learned counsel for the Opposite Party further submits that the Petitioner had agreed to pay the said amount and had also filed written submissions before this Court on 14.05.2026 indicating that 20% of the cheque amount, i.e., Rs.1,02,000/-, had been deposited before the learned J.M.F.C., Boudh in compliance of the order dated 27.01.2025. However, due to inadvertence, the said fact was not reflected in the order dated 14.05.2026 and hence clarification/modification is sought to that extent. 6. Learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that he has no objection to the prayer made by the Opposite Party and fairly concedes to the settlement. 7. Considering the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and in view of the amicable settlement arrived at between them and in view of the Digitally Signed Signed by: SIPUN BEHERA Reason: Authentication Location: HIGH COURT OF ORISSA, CUTTACK Date: 22-May-2026 10:54:10 Signature Not Verified same, the case was closed, this Court directs that the statutory pre-deposit amount of Rs.1,02,000/- lying with the learned Court in seisin of the matter be released in favour of the Opposite Party and disbursed accordingly. 8. It is made clear that except for the above modification relating to disbursement of the deposited amount, all other terms and conditions of the order dated 14.05.2026 passed in CRLMC No.121 of 2025 shall remain unaltered. 9. Accordingly, the I.A. stands allowed and disposed of. 10. Web copy of this order downloaded from the official website of this Court shall be treated as authenticated copy.
