The petitioners are the accused in the complaints lodged by the respondents, filed under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, alleging that, though the petitioners were registered under the TWAD Board Contract, they borrowed a substantial sum of money from the respondent-finance company and agreed to repay the said amount along with interest at the rate of 15% per annum. Accordingly, an agreement was entered into with the respondent-finance. In order to repay the said loan amount, the petitioners issued cheques. However, all the cheques were returned dishonoured for the reason 'Funds insufficient'. After issuing a statutory notice, the respondent filed the complaints. 3.

Based on the oral and documentary evidence, the trial Court convicted the petitioner and sentenced him to undergo simple imprisonment for a period of one year and three months. Aggrieved by the said conviction and sentence, the petitioners filed appeals before the Appellate Court, which were dismissed, confirming the trial Court's decision. Hence, the present revision petitions have been filed. 4. Pending the revision petitions, the petitioners and the respondents attempted to an amicable settlement. Consequently, all the matters were referred to mediation.

In respect of remaining agreed amount, the petitioners have undertaken to pay the same within a period of six weeks from today. The respondent has also agreed to the above settlement terms. 6.
