Present:

Mr. Justice Mamnoon Rahman

29.04.2024                       Mr. Md. Sohrab Hossain, Adv. 

...For the petitioner-appellant.

 Mr. Sikder Mahmudur Razi, Adv.

        …For the complainant-respondent No. 2

Mr. Md. Taifoor Kabir, DAG with Mr. Md. Lokman Hossain, AAG Mr. Md. Hatem Ali, AAG

                    .....For the State.

The  parties  have  filed  joint  application  for compromise on the ground that they settled the matter amicably.

I have heard the learned Advocates for the parties and perused the application.

It appears that the instant appeal was preferred by the  convict-appellant-petitioner  challenging  the judgment and order of conviction and sentence passed by the trial court in a proceeding relates to Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.

It further appears that both the parties intend to settle  the  matter  amicably  upon  certain  terms  and conditions  and  issued  a  sanction  being  No. BA/Khatungonj/Credit/2023/547  dated  17.07.2023  as evident  in  Annexure-1  of  the  application  for compromise.  Since  the  parties  agreed  to  settle  the matter amicably, I am inclined to allow the application.

Accordingly,  the  instant  application  is  allowed and the appeal be disposed of in terms of the application for compromise. The judgment and order of conviction and sentence dated 17.01.2018 passed by the court below is hereby set aside.

The respondent-opposite party No. 2, namely the Bank Asia Limited, Khatungonj Branch, Chattogram is at liberty to withdraw the money from the court below as deposited by the convict-appellant-petitioner forthwith.

Send down the L.C. Records, if any, to the concerned court below with a copy of this order at once.
