In Criminal Revision Application No.67/2019, the applicant has challenged the judgment and order dated 01.01.2016 passed by the learned JMFC, Ahmednagar, in STC No.1929/2014 whereby, the applicant was convicted and sentenced for the offence punishable under Section 138 r/w Section 143 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. This judgment and order is maintained in Criminal Appeal No.15/2016 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Ahmednagar, vide the judgment and order dated 05.02.2019. In Criminal Revision Application No.68/2019, the applicant has challenged the similar judgments and orders with same dates, but having different case numbers, namely, STC No.1421/2014 and Criminal Appeal No.14/2016.

4. As per the terms of the said settlement deed, the complainant stated that she has received the entire amount of compensation and nothing remains due and payable to her by the applicant/ accused. The complainant also stated that no amount is lying in any Court to be withdrawn. The complainant has no objection for allowing these revision applications, setting aside the conviction and acquitting the applicant.
5. In view of the above and since the complainant has no objection as she has received the entire amount and the parties have settled the dispute, both the Criminal Revision Applications are allowed in terms of the respective settlement deed dated 28.09.2026. The impugned judgments and orders are quashed and set aside. The applicant is acquitted of the said offences. The bail bond, if any, stands cancelled and the surety, if any, stands discharged. The record and proceedings be sent to the concerned *4*
Court.
6. Both the Criminal Revision Applications are, accordingly, disposed of. kps ( SUSHIL M. GHODESWAR, J. )
